Event detail
Disillusioned by the "machine ego" that has characterised much technology-driven art practice since computers arrived on the scene, Canadian artist Jeremy Bailey creates digital interfaces through which he plays out a critique of the digital auteur with deadly humour. "The Jeremy Bailey Show" presents many of Bailey's most recent works including VideoPaint 3.0 and SOS, alongside a new piece commissioned by HTTP and produced during his adjunct residency.
This brand new performance work pokes fun at the value placed on "collaboration" in today's art practice and policy-making. Bailey plans to co-demonstrate, with his audience, new collaborative software that will allow participants to perform office related tasks such as email, word processing, or spreadsheets together while simultaneously composing a visual/musical score with matching choreography.
The performance will be staged live at the exhibition opening (Friday 19th Sept 7.30pm) and will be documented for viewing throughout the exhibition.
