+===== SHORT VERSION =====
+eral Trade http://feraltrade.org
+HTTP http://www.http.uk.net
+HTTP is a cultural minority in a mainly working class and cafe free
+residential area, NE london. The cafe will be very small scale and
+modelled as a natural extension to office tea and coffee consumption. It
+is not motivated by cash profit, although goods should cover their own
+costs.
+All goods will be served with information about source and/or delivery,
+including the materiality of cash transactions to procure them. Visitors
+should be able to buy coffee etc either by the cup or in bags to take
+home.
+The feral trade courier process uses moving social networks, including
+known and funded cultural travel to UK, to conduct international grocery
+trade by entirely social means. Documenting these journeys and
+relationships expands the idea of food provenance beyond a gourmet-style
+fetishisation of origins or producers to a broader ecology of supply.
+The cafe hopes to promote inter-organisational trade with artistic peers,
+local and foreign, and to expand a definition of localness beyond the
+territorial boundaries of the village or state, to a shared set of
+connections and navigable transit routes, like the scale-free hubs of the
+internet.
