Kit Galloway (b. 1948) and Sherrie Rabinowitz (1950–2013), jointly known as Mobile Image, are early media visionaries who significantly shaped interactive practices that continue to evolve today. From 1975 to 1977, they launched a series of projects called Aesthetic Research in Telecommunications, including the Satellite Arts Project. This initiative explored telecollaborative arts and virtual performance, pioneering an aesthetic inquiry that investigated how performing arts could utilize technology to create new artistic contexts on a global scale. The Satellite Arts series redefined interactions among geographically separated artists in a dynamic and inclusive environment. In 1980, their Hole In Space project further revolutionized interactive communication for artists, influencing contemporary practitioners. The Electronic Cafe Network (1984; 1989-2000), housed at 18th Street Art Center in Santa Monica, aimed to integrate community, art, technology, multimedia telecommunications, and cross-cultural communication. In the 1990s, Electronic Cafe International, run by Kit and Sherrie, became a point of attraction for experimental musicians and performance artists interested in using means of telecommunication as a medium for their artworks.

Archives of Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz were recently acquired by Stanford University Library.
