Electronic Cafe International, founded by Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, is a pioneering artistic organization based in Santa Monica, CA. With a focus on telecollaborative arts and virtual space performance, their projects have pushed the boundaries of artistic expression and technology. From their groundbreaking Satellite Arts Project in 1977, which demonstrated the possibility of performing together across oceans and geography, to their innovative Hole-In-Space installation in 1980 that brought people from opposite coasts together in a surprising encounter, Electronic Cafe International has been at the forefront of telecommunications art history.

Continuing their exploration of the image as place, Electronic Cafe International also established the ART-COM laboratory at Loyola Marymount University in 1982. Here, graduate students used performance as a mode of investigation to study and comment on their experiences of living in a composite-image space. This laboratory extended the concept of virtual performance space developed in the Satellite Arts Project, further pushing the boundaries of what art can be in the digital age.
