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.
