Andy Deck has been making art software, public art for the internet, since 1990. Decks collaborative drawing spaces, game-like search engines, problematic interfaces and informative art resist generic categorisation: he uses the internet, the gallery and public space to challenge corporate control over communication, tools and software, and by extension the social imagination. Deck works with the web using the sites; artcontext.net, andyland.net
He has received online commissions from New Radio and Performing Arts, Rhizome.org, the Whitney Artport and the Tate, and exhibited internationally at: Machida City Museum, ZKM, PS1, Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona, Walker Art Center and Ars Electronica.
The event is a collaboration between HTTP Gallery and Science Museum Arts Programme.
