Karen Knights provides a brief survey on a selection of original single channel video works that are either EM or Centre Art Video productions.

Within this group of videos, Knights describes artworks related to urban development of Alberta, West Coast frontier mythology, formal investigations of video art as a language, feminist and women's issues in the West Coast, and the crisis and politics surrounding the identities of aboriginal people, gender roles, as well as other cultural communities. She also mentions projects such as the Camera Obscura series by Nelson Henricks and Colleen Kerr, which is a series of cable television programs featuring video art screenings and artist interviews. Knights also refers to the following generation of video artists, providing their sources of inspiration, intentions and political issues to compare with those from the early West Coast video artists.
