Livinus van de Bundt (1909–1979) begins to build his own synthesisers as a means to paint with light. His son, Jeep van de Bundt (b. 1951), collaborates with him, creating accompanying soundtracks. They soon become pioneers in the field of video art in the Netherlands, experimenting with cameras, television screens, and modulators.

With these inspiring creators at its core, MonteVideo quickly develops into a dynamic meeting place for artists looking to work with this new medium. As well as providing artists with technical support, the gallery begins to distribute video works: after all, tapes could be copied and distributed worldwide, allowing for screenings at festivals, in museums, and on television. At this time, video art represented a revolution within the arts and society.

Three works in this room are screened in a loop: Livinus & Jeep van de Bundt, Fifty out of Two / Vijftig uit twee, 1978, video, 6’56‘ / Livinus & Jeep van de Bundt, Moiré, 1975, video, 6’10’ / Livinus & Jeep van de Bundt, Percussion VI / Percussie VI, 1977, video, 2’14‘
