"Baldino renders the progression of a migraine headache as fluttering, glowing shapes, which swiftly overtake the field of vision with a brilliant insistence before finally passing. The work is Baldino's visual articulation of a subjective physical phenomenon, elevated by her precise, almost diaristic narration."

"Most of my migraines are 'visual' and rarely do I have severe headache pain with them / although I get headaches separately though / always more to tell... anyhow, like I mentioned in the questionnaire, the migraines are more of an annoyance than an inspiration... I did only one piece (video: 'mi-missing-GR-brain') about them... for me this was enough." (Email to Klaus Podoll, January 2, 2004) "... the video... is a very short piece, only about 2 and a half minutes / low-tech / shot in the first take / music and (my) voice all at once / very simple..." (Email to Klaus Podoll, January 7, 2004)

"Brooklyn-based media collective free103point9 celebrates its fifth anniversary [May 21, 2002] with a benefit show featuring performances from: DJ Singe, Nautical Almanac, Seth Price, Unomono, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, Aaron Davidson and Melissa Dubbin, Phyllis Baldino, and Matt Bua, Matt Mikas and Tom Roe... PHYLLIS BALDINO's conceptual art practice merges performance, video, sculpture and installation. Often informed by scientific or philosophical principles, Baldino uses anecdotal conceptual humor and an implied narrativity to question the function and meaning of everyday objects and gestures, and will show a single-channel installation 'mi-missing-GR-brain' (2002, 2:34, color, sound) on this program."
