Really informative piece here. This format works really well as a thorough presentation of Maya's work, getting to hear and see the dialectic of her thoughts, process and the work. Thank you so much for contributing! More, more.

Great interview. Maya's thoughts on video-dance I hope are shared, the honest potential of the seemingly narrow field of video can be redefined as artists of movement in space and time continue to enter the electronic world.
