Kabza's machine, text and dance work AMINO SHIM premiered at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum performance festival in Ithaca, N.Y., in 1984. He created over 20 short video works including Spiral Notebook, a blend of narrative and non-narrative that fragments encounters with the cities of Detroit and Paris, France, and spans the years 2000 - 2009. Writing on Kabza's edit style Stashu Kybartas compared Kabza's 90's work with Jonas Mekas's intervalometer films. Kabza sees his work in writing and video as linked, both by scrolling texts which mimic film credits or subtitles and by the use of voice-over commentary, i.e. footnotes. His works Metamorphoses 1 & 2 for Kate Mcgarrigle, (Ron Silliman's blog, Aug. 2009), are examples of this text on image tendency. His work based on Franz Kafka's Before the Law, 2000, a two screen work with sound environment and texts, employs actors, fragments of comic books and new music for a narrative reworking of Kafka's oft deconstructed fable.. }
