'Videolabyrinth' shows three different games located somewhere between triviality, metaphysics, and absurdity. They are broken by multiple choice questions, quiz riddles, bon mots, or the awarding of points: the heroes' paths become the playing field, catharsis is incidental. Happy end or not – it's up to the players!

Video puzzle pieces float on flow diagrams. User variables, mouse clicks, keyboard entries: the neo-cubist story appears! In the 'Videolabyrinth', the viewer is confronted with responding tales that take the path he decides.
Each game consists of a catalogue of video sequences on a Video-8 cassette, controlled by a computer program. The entire length of the video material in a game varies between 30 and 60 minutes.
