HTTP presents Eating Canvas by UK digital artist Jess Loseby.
A new media installation of digital paintings on a range of canvas: fabric, screen, paper and televisions.
This warm and evocative cyber domestic work is a convergence of personal and political aesthetics that is reflective and declares a conscious subjectivity. Loseby's internationally recognised net art works demonstrate a keen alert-ness to her's and her viewers' positioning in physical, virtual and political space.
In this exhibition visitors are offered another experience of these relational dynamics. A bank of newspaper-covered TVs loop 10 video loops using a touch screen to display a large scale digital painting over-layed with headlines streamed live from online news networks.
Loseby's internationally recognised net artworks always demonstrate a keen alertness to her's and her viewers' positioning in physical, virtual and political space. In this exhibition visitors are offered another experience of these relational dynamics.
A bank of newspaper-covered TVs loop 10 video clips of meal-times in the artist's house. Viewers are invited to interact with the same video loops using a touch screen to display a large scale digital painting overlayed with headlines streamed live from online news networks.
We invite you to the opening of the exhibition to view the work and to meet the artist in person. 7pm Tuesday 1st March 2005.
