Madeleine Altmann is a contemporary video artist. She was born in Brazil and lives in the United States.
Career
In San Francisco, Altmann produced 52 live MVTV shows through PEG-TV. In 1991 Altmann moved to Prague, The Czech Republic to produce a show for NTV called Tady a Ted ("Here and Now"), a bilingual show in English and Czech showcasing life in Prague after the Velvet Revolution.
Returning to San Francisco, Altmann along with Michael Freeman, created Erotica SF, a magazine-style show on leased access cable television.[1] Viacom ended the show in 1993, whereupon Altmann sued along with the help of the ACLU to restore the show's production.[2]
In 1994 Altmann was invited by Nick West, professor at New York University to join his program to develop content for YORB.[3] Altmann also began Babes4U,[4] an operation which enabled women who previously worked in strip clubs to go to private offices run by women in order to transmit their images to other computers,[5] a first for that time.[4] Babes4U also developed one of the first micro-payment systems that enabled pay-per-use processing via credit cards.[6]
