HTTP is London's first dedicated gallery for networked, net art, new
media & sound art. It will provide a public space for experimental
approaches to exhibiting relational, technologically termed art.
Dosensos and Furtherfield have joined forces to work with artists
from around the world to develop alternative means of exhibiting
online and screen-based projects in the gallery context. Artists'
projects on DVD, real-time, net-cast and live art will also play a
major role in the curatorial work of HTTP.
HTTP's debut exhibition brings you work by two extraordinary Finnish
artists. This show offers London audiences an exhilarating
introduction to the intriguing and dynamic world of technological art
practice. The first of a series of exhibitions and events showing
mixes of screen-based and physical artworks. Mika Taanila's
documentary film 'The Future Is Not What It Used To Be' entwines the
past with the present. In this exhibition, his representation of
Erkki Kurenniemi's philosophical journey through digital possibility
is juxtaposed, projected in the same space with a physical artwork
from that same history, in the form of DIMI-A machine (Digital Music
Instrument, Associative Memory).
