Parry Teasdale, David Cort and Chuck Kennedy visit The Kitchen in New York looking for Shirley Clarke, and bump into Steina and Woody Vasulka who are overseeing a show in progress. A few doors down they find Shirley in her studio, dressed in white and full of energy. She shows them around, pointing out monitors and lighting set ups.
Parry shows her an arm-mounted video camera he has made and bought along for her to try out -- the first time she has seen one. Amid lively banter, Shirley jokes about how one day cameras will be small enough to store on a wristwatch.
