In the 1980s, he created innovative digital, holographic, and online works that anticipated today’s information culture.

Kac’s career spans poetry, performance, printmaking, telepresence, transgenics, and space art.His work has been shown at institutions like MoMA, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, Reina Sofia, and in major biennials including Venice, São Paulo, and Gwangju.
