LoVid (Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) is a NY-based interdisciplinary artist duo workin collaboratively since 2001. Their interdisciplinary works explore the often invisible or intangible aspects of contemporary society, from communication systems to biological signals, exploring how technology shapes human culture.
LoVid’s practice spans performances, participatory public art, handmade technologies, textiles, prints, App-art, experimental video, and immersiv installations. By juxtaposing media with physical objects, geographic spaces, and the human touch, they bridge handmade engineering with traditional art and craft forms through a DIY ethos.
Their work reflects on the role of tactile production and the gesture of making in a world increasingly mediated by machines and virtual experiences. Drawing on art, science, and technology, LoVid’s diverse practice probes perceptions of time, place, and self in the networked era.
LoVid’s work has been exhibited internationally including at: Toledo Museum of Art, Nantes Museum of Arts, Buffalo AKG Museum, Museum of the Moving Image, Grand Rapids Museum, Art Blocks Curated, Gazelli Art House, Postmasters Gallery, Honor Fraser Gallery, Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, Anthology Film Archives, MoMA, Issue Project Room, Science Gallery Dublin, The Jewish Museum NY, Daejeon Museum, Smack Mellon, Butler Institute of American Art, and New Museum. LoVid has received grants and awards from organizations such as The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Graham Foundation, Eyebeam, Harvestworks, Wave Farm, Rhizome, Franklin Furnace, NYFA, Lower Manhattan Cultural Center, Experimental TV Center, New York State Council on the Arts, and the Greenwall Foundation. LoVid’s work is in private and public collections including the Whitney Museum, the Museum of the Moving Image, Le Random, the Parrish Museum, Thoma Foundation, and the Heckscher Museum.
