Aesthetic Research In Telecommunications, 1982

ART-COM, 1982,was a credited multi-disciplinary laboratory at Loyola Marymount University in which graduate students used performance as the mode of investigation to study and comment on their experiences of "living in" a composite-image space. Students also explored performing everyday tasks, and collaborative problem solving, and theatre skits mimicking life situations with their fellow students who were at a remote site on campus.

This "life in virtual space" lab extended the notion of "the image as place,"and as a "virtual performance space" as developed in the Satellite Arts Project (1977.) Final live public performances of the findings of the ART-COM lab were performed at Loyola Marymount University, and for an audiences at the American Film Institute. Created and produced by Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz; supported with equipment donations from Sony Corporation and the facilities of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles.
