Battiss works on screenprints with Josef Kroll in Germany and Chris Betambeau in London. He produces a print with Betambeau called Tinguely and his Machine, which is reproduced in the September 1971 issue of Studio International as one of Battiss' many advertising interventions in the publication.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
