this collection of video pieces on VHS tape (NTSC only right now) includes:

American Business Adventures, part 1: The first in a series of pieces exploring corporate America's influence on the world. This installment focuses on the oil industry's connection to U.S. foreign policy in Afghanistan. (11 minutes)

Manifesto: a video version of the Detritus Manifesto. It was originally produced as a projected video backdrop to accompany Steev's live improvised sound collage performances. It was premiered as such at the Electrofringe Festival in Newcastle, Australia in September, 2001 and then shown/performed at the Sound Unseen Festival in Minneapolis, and at 6-Odum in Chicago, in October. Subsequently, Steev took the recordings of the live sound from the Newcastle and Chicago shows and added them, in sync, back onto the video. (20 minutes)

Live at Sound Unseen: a montage of footage from Steev's performance at Sound Unseen in October 2001, utilising the video from Manifesto, and the Syntagm Engine as live sound collage instrument. (3 min)

Hello My Darling Patpong Road: This is video footage of part of Steev's set at the Big Sur Experimental Music Festival, May 19, 2001. This clip shows the premiere of this performance piece. The piece was inspired by two books: Hello My Big Big Honey: Love Letters to Bangkok Bar Girls and Their Revealing Interviews by Dave Walker and Richard Ehrlich, and Critique of Exotica, by John Hutnyk.

In the piece Steev is using the Syntagm Engine, and also his sculptural sound talisman, the Familiar/Signifier, a small wooden box on wheels with sound playback and amplification devices mounted inside. (16 minutes)
