"Blessed, then, are the television viewers, for they (may) have 
inherited reality." (Daniel Dayan & Elihu Katz, Media Events: the live 
broadcasting of history)

HTTP Gallery in North London is pleased to present the latest work by 
the Italian artist group IOCOSE whose provocative projects use media and 
web-based technologies as a tool to challenge contemporary notions 
around religion, politics and social media. At HTTP they will be 
presenting a new video piece whose content is still shrouded in mystery. 
Before showing in London the work will premier at the RE:akt Festival in 
Slovenia on 21 October 2010.

IOCOSE has been working in Italy and Europe since 2006. It organises 
actions in order to subvert ideologies, practices and processes of 
identification and production of meanings. It uses pranks and hoaxes as 
tactical means, as joyful and sound tools. IOCOSE thinks about the 
streets, Internet and word of mouth as a battlefield. Tactics such as 
mimesis and trickery are used to lead and delude the audience into a 
semantic pitfall.
