Foto8 is pleased to announce One Hundred & Forty Characters, an exhibition by British photographer Chris Floyd, on from 3 – 17 November 2011. This will be the inaugural exhibition in Foto8’s newly refurbished and expanded space on Honduras Street.<\/p>\n

One Hundred & Forty Characters is inspired by Floyd\u2019s interaction with the photographers, editors and other individuals he follows on Twitter. The project began in 2010 as a means to put faces to the online names he had become familiar with and culminates in this exhibition of 140 portraits of individuals. The exhibition is printed and supported by Hewlett Packard. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea for this came at a moment when I realised I had not seen or spoken to any of my closest, real and actual friends for over a month, although I communicated with some of those people on Twitter several times a week in bursts of 140 characters or less, yet I had never even met any of them,\u201d says Floyd. \u201cAs we are now well and truly living in a digital age I am aware that this \u2018state of being\u2019 is only going to deepen and the traditional ways our friendships play out, although they will not go away anytime soon, are going to have to make room for a new way of doing things.\u201d <\/p>\n

In the exhibition of One Hundred & Forty Characters, Floyd bridges the gap between how we maintain traditional relationships and how we increasingly form friendships through online communications.<\/p>\n

About Chris Floyd
