It is most notable for being one of the first examples in which film and video technologies were combined.[3] The nine-minute film combines a number of video loops which have been altered through re-photography or video colorization, and utilizes an electronic sound track to create its unique effect.[4]
In 2004, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[5][6][7]
It also appeared on the 1979 ABC News special Mission: Mind Control[8] and the 1990 Oscar-nominated documentary film Berkeley in the Sixties.[9]
In 1980, Scott recreated the event in a video production class at UCLA called The Making of OffOn.[10]
