Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus have been working together as LoVid since 2001. Hinkis graduated from The Ecole Des Beaux-Art, Paris in 2000 and Lapidus received his MD and PhD from Yeshiva University in 2009. LoVid’s collaboration began with audiovisual performances and has expanded to include a wide range of media, from works on paper to App-art. In our performances we use our handmade electronic instruments to create immersive audiovisual compositions. These performances were presented among many others at Museum of the Moving Image (NY), Graham Foundation (Chicago), Eyebeam (NY), MoMA (NY), FACT (UK), PS1 (NY) and The Kitchen (NY). LoVid’s single channel videos have been screened in galleries, festivals, and events worldwide including Modern Art Oxford (UK), Art in General (NY), Siskel Theater (Chicago), International Film Festival Rotterdam (Netherlands), Observatori Festival, (Spain), and NY Underground Film Festival (NY). LoVid’s installations and objects combine machine- and hand-made objects and devices, using a DIY approach to technology with tactile fine art process to produce weaving, works on paper, and sculptures. These projects have been included in solo and group exhibitions worldwide including Science Museum Jerusalem (Israel), CAM Raleigh (NC), Netherlands Media Art Institute (Netherlands), Real Art Ways (CT), The Jewish Museum (NY), The Neuberger Museum (NY), Science Gallery (Ireland), and New Museum (NY). In addition LoVid creates large scale interdisciplinary projects that combine new technology with social interventions and public spaces. These have been funded and produced in collaboration with Rhizome, Franklin Furnace, Elastic City, free103point9, The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Experimental TV Center, and LMCC. LoVid has received additional awards from NYSCA, NYFA, and Foundation for Contemporary Art, and Greenwall Foundation. LoVid has received residencies from STEIM (Netherlands), Harvestworks, Eyebeam, Smack Mellon, and Cue Art Foundation and has been visiting artist at Pratt (NY), Royal College of Art (London), Oberlin (OH), School of the Art Institute (Chicago), RISD (RI) among many others.
