    Being Social: Furtherfield's 1st Exhibition at New Gallery & Social Space.

    Opening Event: Saturday 25 February 2012, 1-4pm
    Press View: Friday 2 March 2012, 10-12 noon

    Being Social is the opening exhibition at Furtherfield Gallery in Finsbury Park in North London. Furtherfield has established an international reputation as London's first gallery for networked media art since 2004. With this exciting move to a more public space Furtherfield invites artists and techies - amateurs, professionals, celebrated stars and private enthusiasts - to engage with local and global, everyday and epic themes in a process of imaginative exchange.

    This exhibition brings together artworks by emerging and internationally acclaimed artists: Annie Abrahams, Karen Blissett, Ele Carpenter, Emilie Giles, moddr_ , Liz Sterry and Thomson and Craighead.

    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.

    White Heat Cold Logic: The history of British Computer Art from 1960 - 1980.

    Review by Rob Myers.

    This necessary publication Revisits art at a time when access to computers was limited and their potential was only just starting to be realised. Brought to life in a collection of memoirs and essays gathered by Paul Brown, Charlie Gere, Nicholas Lambert, and Catherine Mason. What was previously the secret history or parallel universe of art computing can now be seen in context alongside the other avant-garde art movements of the mid-late 20th century. I cannot over-emphasise the service that CACHe has done the art computing community and the arts more generally by providing this much needed reappraisal of early arts computing in the UK.

    This is the third and last by Rob Myers, in a series of articles reviewing publications by the CACHe project, an archive of pioneering British computer art. Rob\'s first review was of the V&A\'s show and book \"Digital Pioneers\", the second was of Catherine Mason\'s \"A Computer In The Art Room\". Where \"A Computer In The Art Room\" concentrated on the history of art computing in British educational institutions up to 1980, \"White Heat Cold Logic\" gives voice to the individuals who made art using computers in that period more generally.

    <b>De-familiarizing the familiar: The ‘lele’ Method: Interview with Dragana Zarevska & Jasna Dimitrovska</b>

    By Darko Aleksovski.

    Dragana Zarevska and Jasna Dimitrovska are visual and performing artists, cultural workers and activists from Macedonia, who also, often work together under the artistic pseudonym Ephemerki. While at the same time loving and teasing the rigidity of academism, they like decoding magic, making it transparent, go behind Wizard of Oz’s curtain and put his pants down. The name of the duo is a funny derivate of Bapchorki (band of few grannies who used to sing Macedonian traditional songs in a rustic nasal style). It suggests that Ephemerki are their ephemeral version, or at least, the ones doing the ephemeral part of tradition. Their work is driven from and inspired by Donna Haraway, Judith Butler, Deleuze and Guattari, Agamben, and other contemporary thinkers and practitioners within arts, technology and society.

    The Lele method is their latest performance (a performative event for a bunch of people, as they like to call it) and so far was performed at AKTO 6, Festival for Contemporary art in Bitola and Kondenz&Locomotion, Performing arts festivals organized in Skopje and Belgrade. Here is the story behind the project.
