The Videobjects are a series of self-contained vid video works which utilize single-chip microcomputers and dedicated video boards. the Videobjects challenge the idea of New Media as a platform-specific (i.e. desktop or laptop)-driven form of artwork.

The Videobjects can display sound and graphics, but are very limited in their resolution. This is part of Lichty's aesthetic of Digital Minimalism. The low-resolution of each of the Videobject installations refer to a historical era of personal computing, even one before that of contemporary "Retro" digital genres.

Furthermore, the Videobjects are versatile, as they can be displayed as stand-alone objects, or can be used to drive large-format projections. In this way, a Videobject is not merely the chip and hardware, it is the conceptual field of the computed video in the space allotted for it.
