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).

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.
