486 Shorts (2006) was developed by deliberately shorting the circuitry of an i486 PC graphics card, generating unpredictable video signals that were captured and edited into 486 clips. These recordings were compiled onto an interactive DVD, resulting in a 40:46-minute composite of the entire series. In exhibitions, the work is realized collaboratively with curators and institutions, presented according to a set of instructions amid sculptural piles of e-waste — discarded technological objects from multiple eras. From its initial presentation in the early 2000s to its recent showing at Electric Op at Buffalo AKG, the installation continues to evolve as a monument to both technological progress and obsolescence.
The interdisciplinary works of LoVid (Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) 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 immersive 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.
Selected exhibitions and screenings include Toledo Museum of Art (2025), Nantes Museum of Arts, Nantes, France (2025); Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo, USA (2024); Museum of the Moving Image, New York, USA (2024); MoMA, New York, USA (2008); Issue Project Room, New York, USA (2016); and New Museum, New York, USA (2005). LoVid’s projects have received support from The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation; Wave Farm; Rhizome; Franklin Furnace; NYFA and others. LoVid’s works are held in collections including Whitney.
