The 40th anniversary telebration of Hole-In-Space
A public communications sculpture by Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz
A telematic art event with key importance for the future of media arts was organized November 12-14, 1980 between Century City in Los Angeles and the Lincoln Center in New York. Making the impossible possible, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz created a futuristic communications infrastructure that connected two public outdoor spaces in real time, opening up a possibility for everyone to create together across the continent and to share experiences in a never-before-seen collaborative virtual space.
DMA is proud to host the legendary artist Kit Galloway to celebrate this truly momentous feat. Please join Kit to hear how it was achieved and to see rare documents from the archives of Electronic Café International (ECI), the center and network for online art collaborations Galloway and Rabinowitz founded. The event will also commemorate the achievements of Sherrie Rabinowitz (1950-2013), an extraordinary artist who pioneered - together with Kit - the field of collaborative interactive online media art.
This event is presented by the UCLA Department of Design Media Arts.
Event Date: Friday, Nov. 13, 1:30 p.m.
