Nika Oblak & Primož Novak - Baby (0:04:13)
Produkcija: 2003
The video Baby shows a sexy blonde in a cheesy environment overflown by colorful balloons. She is posing in front of the camera and telling jokes about stupid policemen, which rather evoke jokes about stupid blondes. In the atmosphere filled by common stereotypes, simplified representations and sweet laughter, we can hardly find humor in the end and jokes become ironic and bitter. Baby explores the ideological structure of jokes and creates an ironic display of prejudice in society.

Ana Čigon - One More Kick (0:04:35)
Produkcija: Ana Čigon, 2009
'One More Kick' je performativni video, v katerem se avtorica spopada s steno, ki jo fiktivno, s silo svojega telesa skuša premakniti, kar povzroča velik napor. Zaletavanje v steno le stežka premakne stensko ploskev, ki jo avtorica navidezno poriva po kadru. Avtorica uporabi metodo merjenja robov video ekrana, s katero so se ukvarjali že zgodnji videasti, ki so prevpraševali množične medije in televizijo, v katero je ujeta realnost. S pomočjo tehničnih sredstev in performativno akcijo se...

Nataša Berk - PolyPlay (04:18)
Podnaslov: Demo Version
Produkcija: 2004
Umetnica uprizori glasbeni nastop z bandom PolyPlay. Kot pove v uvodnem nagovoru, si je vedno želela igrati v bandu. Ker pa ni profesionalna glasbenica, je nihče ni hotel sprejeti v band. Zato ga je z lastnimi multiplimi osebnostmi ustanovila kar sama. Umetnica v postopku montaže sestavi različne dele različnih posnetkov v skupen kader, ki tvori novo vizualno in glasbeno celoto, možno zgolj v video zapisu. (Vir: Postaja DIVA)
