In the early nineties, was co-sysop (systems operator) with Heath Bunting on Cybercafe BBS with Irational.org.
Our mission is to co-create extraordinary art that connects with contemporary audiences providing innovative, engaging and inclusive digital and physical spaces for appreciating and participating in practices in art, technology and social change. As well as finding alternative ways around already dominating hegemonies, thus claiming for ourselves and our peer networks a culturally aware and critical dialogue beyond traditional hierarchical behaviours. Influenced by situationist theory, fluxus, free and open source culture, and processes of self-education and peer learning, in an art, activist and community context.

=======================================================
HTTP gallery is pleased to present Austrian artist Elisabeth Penker's
first solo exhibition in the UK.
In her work Elisabeth Penker is questioning visual structures in
relation to language. By decoding visual systems and displacing rhythm
and language into a non-linear structure, Penker is showing the
commonality of Modern Art and First Nation Art. It is of particular
interest how polysynthetic languages which are common in First Nation
Languages (i.e. there is no clear distinction between a word and a
sentence), compare to Indo-European languages and how visual languages
relate to grammar and syntax.
At the turn of the last century the Futurists introduced sounds of
motors and vocals as instruments for orchestras, which consequently
influenced Dada and Fluxus movements that pioneered the early days of
electronic music. The Dadaists phonetically experimented with
grammatical structures. Penker combines these different approaches to
rhythm and language transformations. For her exhibition at HTTP gallery,
Elisabeth Penker has developed a new sound piece Die Bildhauerin (The
Sculptor [fem.]), a deconstruction of rhythm and syntax in a non-linear
repetitive multi-channel matrix. Die Bildhauerin breaks up the
grammatical structure of the word "DIE-BILD-HAU-ER-IN" into minimal
units which are called morphemes. The composition is arranged with the
sound of two stone masons, chiselling this broken grammatical structure
into a wall. The morphemes build the base rhythms of the composition.
For the opening, Penker will perform live to the composition "Die
Bildhauerin". The performance is supported by a sonic structure
constructed of wood and various industrial floor materials which are
amplified and function as instrument and interactive sound sculpture
during the exhibition.
The audience can play on the sonic structure of the sound piece, and
this is combined structurally with the conceptual logic of Luigi
Russolo's (1913) Manifesto, The Art of Noises and the technical
methodology of Jack Foley's recordings for films.
"De-Grammatical: Rhythm and Language Transformation" is supported by the
Austrian Cultural Forum.

=============
A warm thank you to all those who turned up on the night for the private
view of Lucas Bambozzi's SPIO last week. It was a great evening and of
course it is always exciting to see so many new faces and to share the
experience. As expected we have had more visitors to the space during
regular gallery opening hours (12 - 5pm Friday - Sunday).
Visitors to the space view and are viewed by a mobile robot, which
throws up immersive images of them in the gallery from ground level
giving a new perspective on powerpoints, cables and irregular walls.
Also showing on DVD is Lucas's 20 minute film "I have no words" and
other DVD documentation of his work.
For those who have forgotten and need another nudge to come and see the
work you've got till May 1st 2005. For more details view this link...
