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). We invite you to come to the opening of the exhibition and the gallery to view the work and to meet the artists in person. 7pm Tuesday 19th October 2004.
