Sherrie Rabinowitz (1950–2013)[1] was an American video artist and a pioneer in satellite-based telecommunications art.

[1] She studied at University of California Berkeley and was involved in the collective Optic Nerve,[3] which created underground video and guerrilla television.

[4] As part of Optic Nerve she collaborated with the architecture and performance collective Ant Farm which was also based out of San Francisco.

[7] Another example is their 1980 satellite relay project Hole-in-Space which connected public spaces in New York and Los Angeles with live audio and life-sized video.

[8] Rabinowitz coined the phrase "We must create at the same scale that we can destroy"[9] which would become the headline of Mobile Image's manifesto[10] for their Electronic Cafe Network Project (1984) commissioned for the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics Art Festival.
