Socialising
Pre-eminent digital art organisation Furtherfield launches Being Social this weekend, the first exhibition at its new home within Finsbury Park.
Although the title may imply that it's an exhibition related to social media, as one would expect with Furtherfield, there's much more to it than that.
As Furtherfield themselves put it:
Since the mid-90s computers have changed our way of being together. First the Internet then mobile networks have grown as cultural spaces for interaction - wild and banal, bureaucratic and controlling - producing new ways of 'being social'. Visitors are invited to view art installations, software art, networked performances and to get involved with creative activities to explore how our lives - personal and political - are being shaped by digital technologies.
Exhibiting artists include:
- Annie Abrahams
- Karen Blissett
- Ele Carpenter
- Emilie Giles
- moddr_
- Liz Sterry
- ... and the lovely Thomson and Craighead
It all kicks off 25/02/12, and all the info is on the Furtherfield website. See you there.
