For Golden Voyage (1973), the Vasulkas were inspired by Magrittes painting The Golden Legend (1958), which depicts a dream world merging landscape and still life. Magrittes pictorial approach squares perfectly with the formal concerns of the Vasulkas , who have sought to create a syntax for collage that is specific to video. Unlike photographic collage in which contrasting elements are assembled on a shared surface, electronic collage relies on the keying principle. To add an element, a zone from the background is replaced with one or more secondary video sources that still unfold separately. – Fondation Langlois
