Ira Schneider was a pioneer of video in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In his work with video installation and single-channel tapes, he explored the manipulation of time, interactivity and simultaneity as formal and conceptual devices. A participant in the landmark exhibition TV as a Creative Medium at the Howard Wise Gallery in 1969, he created several important early multi-channel video installations, including Manhattan is an Island and, with Frank Gillette, Wipe Cycle. Schneider was a founding member of the Raindance Foundation and a co-publisher of the seminal video journal Radical Software. In 1976, he and Beryl Korot co-edited Video Art: An Anthology, one of the first and most important anthologies of critical writing in the early years of the alternative video movement.

Schneider was born in 1939. He received an A.B. from Brown University and an M.A. in psychology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His numerous awards include grants and fellowships from the New York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Guggenheim Foundation. He has taught at the University of California, San Diego; The American Center, Paris; and Cooper Union. He lives in Berlin.
