Born in 1946, lives and works in New York. Video and installation artist who has contributed to prolific discussions about women and technology since the 1970s. Birnbaum’s early works tackled television as a language and particularly examined the way women have been stereotypically portrayed. Through a dynamic televisual language of images, music and text, she exposes the media’s embedded ideological meanings and posits video as a means of giving a voice to the individuals. Birnbaum’s works have been included in numerous important exhibitions, such as “America is Hard to See” at the Whitney Museum of American Art (2015) and “Cut to Swipe” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2014). She has been the recipient of distinguished awards, including the American Film Institute’s Maya Deren Award for Independent Film and Video Artists and at the Chicago International Film Festival.
