Annette Barbier was an American video and digital artist. Mindy Faber, who worked with Barbier at the Art Institute and later at Columbia, called her a pioneering, groundbreaking artist, internationally acclaimed for her videos. Faber said that Barbier's work evolved over time, moving from exploring issues of female identity to concerns with nature, ecology and climate.

Biography
Born and raised on the Southeast Side of Chicago, Barbier earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a master's degree in fine art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Although initially she worked in sculpture, she soon became interested in what she called feminist video, and was one of the early artists working in video in the 1970s. For many of her art projects, she collaborated with her husband, Drew Browning, who survives her. The two met at the University of Illinois and studied together at the Art Institute.

Barbier joined the faculty of Northwestern University in 1982 as associate professor in the department of radio/television/film. She moved from there to Columbia College Chicago in 2005 as associate professor and chair of the interactive arts and media department. She shifted to emeritus status in 2012.

Barbier's work has been collected widely and won her a number of grants and awards. One of those was a Fulbright lectureship that took her to India in early 1988 to teach video making to Indian women as well as work on her own art.

Barbier died on June 5, 2017, at age 66, of complications from a bone marrow disorder.
