Founded by Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz in 1988, Electronic Cafe events joined together an international network of high-tech cafes that offered “vanguard artists the opportunity to develop new forms through experimentation and collaboration with new media-particularly video teleconferencing.”Īt Café Barbie, live video streams were set up between The Kitchen and Santa Monica, CA and Paris, but the A/V required for this-which today could have been done by an intern like me-proved technically difficult in 1994.
