* ''Overdubbed Nam June Paik installation, in the style of Edward Packer''. 1965, 1973, 1980. Magnetic tape, hand-held tape playback head, speaker system, voice of the artist, computer-synthesized speech.
** This installation pays homage to [[wikipedia:Nam June Paik|Nam June Paik]]'s ''[https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/9536 Random Access]'', originally displayed in 1963. The original piece asks the audience to create a personal music composition by guiding a playback head across strips of magnetic audiotape on the wall. Lula's interpretation combines this concept of interaction with a "choose your own adventure"-style narrative popularized by the author [[wikipedia:Edward Packard (writer)|Edward Packard]]. The interactive audioplay is narrated by Lula herself. In parts, the narrative diverges in irreconcilable ways, leaving the viewer to wonder whether what they just heard is factually true. [[Joseph]] and [[Donald]] also appear in the recordings, and it is generally understood that this exhibit is Lula's version of the events of her "love polygon" with the two of them.
** A flowchart for the dialogue in this piece can be viewed [[:File:Overdubbed Nam June Paik flowchart.png|here]].
