Last night artists Vicky Isley and Paul Smith aka boredomresearch opened their exhibition, theatre of restless automata, at http - furtherfield's gallery space in North London.

The simplicity of the work contrasts with the compexity of these alluring creatures, pulsing with colour and emitting a glissando of electronic noises
