<03> Backspace

Backspace, headed by James Stevens, is both a physical space on the south bank of the Thames in London and an on-line space for national and international art projects. The Backspace web site is an interface for current, constantly changing net projects. At the real-world location, the studio, the project promotes progressive artistic and technological developments. It was provided to the Backspace founders in 1996 by an advertising design firm also based there, with the aim of promoting aesthetic inventiveness and radicalism beyond the institutional framework.
