- Kit Galloway People
Since meeting in 1975 Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz explored state-of-the-art multimedia communications technologies including satellites, video, computer networks and other telecollaborative media; over the last 20 years they created models giving diverse local, national and international arts communities access to complex telecommunications tools, systems and environments. Their work traces aesthetic collaboration in virtual space from analog origins to worldwide digital connectivity, and they are internationally recognized for a distinguished body of work spanning sub-genres of telecollaboration and aesthetic inquiry; their credits include many early seminal projects in telecommunications art now considered classics, website http://www.ecafe.com

- Reach Out and Touch Someone: The Romance of Interactivity Bibliography
The essay traces the genealogy of interactivity in avant-garde video from nineteenth-century shifts in communal practices and the 1876 introduction of the telephone to contemporary machine-mediated intimacy; it argues that technological developments shortened distances and fostered new models of social connection. It situates the genesis of video art in the late 1960s following Sony's 1968 1/2-inch equipment, surveys artists and movements (including Nam June Paik, Douglas Davis, Alan Kaprow) and venues such as WGBH, WNET, and KQED, and discusses cable public-access, satellite projects, and interactive videodisk experiments. Specific projects cited include Douglas Davis's 1970s broadcasts, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz's Hole in Space (1980), Nam June Paik's Good Morning Mr. Orwell (1984), and the Lister Hill Center's 1971 New Hampshire-Vermont Interactive Network.
