"Blessed, then, are the television viewers, for they (may) have inherited reality." (Daniel Dayan & Elihu Katz, Media Events: the live broadcasting of history)

HTTP Gallery in North London is pleased to present the latest work by the Italian artist group IOCOSE whose provocative projects use media and web-based technologies as a tool to challenge contemporary notions around religion, politics and social media. At HTTP they will be presenting a new video piece whose content is still shrouded in mystery. Before showing in London the work will premier at the RE:akt Festival in Slovenia on 21 October 2010.

IOCOSE has been working in Italy and Europe since 2006. It organises actions in order to subvert ideologies, practices and processes of identification and production of meanings. It uses pranks and hoaxes as tactical means, as joyful and sound tools. IOCOSE thinks about the streets, Internet and word of mouth as a battlefield. Tactics such as mimesis and trickery are used to lead and delude the audience into a semantic pitfall.

Spill >> Forward by Transnational Temps (Review).

Review by Rob Myers.


Spill >> Forward by Transnational Temps is an 'Online Exhibition' of images and other media on the theme of oil spills. With some works shown at the MediaNoche gallery in New York from July 30 - October 10, 2010. Transnational Temps is an international arts collective concerned with ecology, sustainability, and media. Since its formation in 2001 it has produced a series of critically acclaimed works and exhibitions under the banner Earth Art for the 21st Century. Working primarily from Europe and the United States, works to date have emphasized participation, tactical media, and spanning the sometimes awkward divide between activist advocacy and aesthetics.

"As media attention wanes, the impact of British Petroleum's Deep Horizon, off-shore drilling disaster continues to unfold. Artists worldwide respond to this new ecological catastrophe in a group show organized by Transnational Temps, an arts collective exploring the interstices of art, ecology and technology. For Andy Deck, one of the founding members of Transnational Temps and the curator of the show, "After a decidedly unsuccessful round of climate negotiations in Copenhagen, the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico frames this exhibition of Earth Art for the 21st Century."

"Now hidden from view by BP's media campaigns and other de facto censoring actions, the images of oil-covered birds struggling to breathe and fly, oil and dispersant-coated fish, dolphins and whales washing up dead while most sink to the ocean floor, have all but vanished. Partially filling the void are the artists showing here who are recreating topographies: mapping the course of a deadly shadow over our shores and waters; and reinterpreting the sea, its rising levels and largesse, before the vicissitudes of man and nature." Transnational Temps.
