Their videos have been shown in festivals and galleries in New York; Linz, Austria; Novi Sad, Yugoslavia; Tel Aviv, Israel, as well as McMurdo Station in Antarctica "We strive to capture, share and expose the unseen and overlooked, to find joy in the banal. With video we can discover a point in the pointlessness of everyday life." Taly has said. The pair is best known for their brief abstract videos including the ghostly tribute to Nam June Paik "Nam June Paik's Fingerprints" that was finished on the eve of Paik’s death and presented in the Vienna Short Film Festival as an installation in 2006.
