Sherrie Rabinowitz

Sherrie Rabinowitz formed an artistic tandem with Kit Galloway, Mobile Image. They were pioneers in the field of satellite art with projects that explored the aesthetic possibilities of telecommunications and the generation of new artistic contexts. The works they created are classified within communication aesthetics, telematic art and digital theater. One of his projects was Hole in Space (1980), based on a public connection between Los Angeles and New York, a media space was generated in the daily environment of the street. Passersby in both cities could interact by recording their image on large screens. The distance was distorted, generating a hole in space. This action has been exhibited in Medialab Mad in video installation format. In 1984 they created the Electronic Café (Communications Access For Everyone) Network, a café, networking center, workshop and performance space, and art center in Santa Monica, California. His projects have been exhibited, among others, at the MoMA in New York, the MOCA in Los Angeles, the Biennale di Venezia and the Biennale de Paris. Among the awards they have obtained, it is worth mentioning the American Film Institute's Independent Filmmakers Award (1980); Tokyo Video Festival Award of 1980 and 1981; TeleSpan PACE Award (1988); Interactive Media Festival ARC Insight Award (1995) and ATT Telecollaboration Award from the National Information Infrastructure (NII), in 1996.
