Furtherfield.org 

Furtherfield.org is a not-for-profit, artist-led organisation based in North London providing an online and physical platform for creating, exhibiting, commissioning and discussing networked media arts.

Since 1997 Furtherfield.org has developed imaginative strategies to facilitate art activity via experimental spaces online, in the streets and in other public venues. Furtherfield.org works across the boundaries of the art world with grass roots artistic and activist groups and software developers, to create online projects that explore participative and collaborative art practice. They have developed artware (software that is both artwork and tool) to nurture collaborative artistic engagement and knowledge sharing.

In 2004, Furtherfield.org opened HTTP, London’s first dedicated gallery for networked and new media art. With over 600 active and regular contributors and a regular audience of around 26,000, in 2007 Furtherfield.org was rated second in Dazed and Confused's Digital 50 favourite sites for global creativity. Other projects and programmes include a new artist residency programme, a regular programme of critical art games exhibitions and artware for online, real-time, collaborative audiovisual mixing, VisitorsStudio.

 Lottie Child 

The artist Lottie Child works and lives in London. Her practice includes participatory, live art explorations of public space, utilising strategies of collaboration and spontaneous interaction. These strategies can be conceived as 'urban survival skills for the twenty first century' that explore notions of play, the politics of the urban built environment, risk taking and the use of new technologies.

Through her work, people are invited to share their expertise and subjective responses to the notions of freedom of movement and anti social behaviour in increasingly sanitised and controlled urban environments. Previous projects include Guerrilla Gardening, Tannoy Hijacking, Guide to Risk in the City, Hi5 Game for Cyclists and Climbing Club.

Since 2000 her practice has included gallery and art education, as well as residencies and live art events both nationally and internationally. In 2006 she was part of Situations at Arnolfini, Bristol and in 2007 she was part of Architecture Week and ARS Electronica. This year she will be part of Games Theory at the South London Gallery as well as receiving British Council funded Artists Links Brazil 2008.
