A conversation between artists Dan Graham and Michael Smith, focusing on Smith's video work since the 1970s. The discussion highlights Smith's interests in bland TV sitcoms, cultural cliches, and stand-up comedy non-sequiturs, as displayed in video performances featuring his alter-ego "Mike." Graham and Smith reflect on the crossover of video artists/performers and the commercial mainstream, particularly in the 80s, and consider what it means to make "communal" art. The pair further remark on the use and appeal of humour in their and others' works.

Preceded by a critical note on Michael Smith by Tim Griffin.
