Robert Adrian X (1935, Toronto - 2015, Vienna) was an artist producing installations, radio art and sound art works from 1957, and one of the recognized pioneer of telecommunication art. He started to work and experiment in this field already in 1979.
Adrian X organised a number of projects involving fax, slow-scan tv, amateur radio, Bulletin Board Systems etc. during the 1980s-90s. He was with different media, including installation, model-making, photography, painting, sculpture, radio and computer. His work has been included in many international exhibitions, for example at the Venice Biennale (1980, 1984), the Sydney Biennale (1986) and several times at the Ars Electronica in Linz/Austria.
In April 1995, he initiated Kunstradio On Line, the web-site of the ORF radio art programme Kunstradio and continued as webmaster of KR online until April 2000.
He moved to Vienna in 1972.
