ANNIE ABRAHAMS ‘IF NOT YOU NOT ME’ AT HTTP IN LONDON.
Rachel Dainer-Best
Whether it’s finding out too late that your cell phone hasn’t been
receiving calls or fretting over whether it’s okay to respond to a
Facebook message with a text, we all know that technology makes
communication both limitless and painfully complicated. Annie Abrahams
is exploring these fragile relations via a series of networked
performance pieces in her solo exhibition, If Not You Not Me at the HTTP
gallery in London. The show highlights her idea that “communication
guided by machines doesn’t go by the same rules, nor uses the same
abilities as “normal” communication.”
The central piece of the exhibition is Shared Still Life, a live
broadcast between two galleries, HTTP and Kawenga media arts space in
Montpellier, France. A still life is set up in each of these galleries
and is projected by live broadcast in the other. The interactive exhibit
allows visitors to the gallery to rearrange the still life and send
messages to visitors at the other location.
