Artist 7

Auriea Harvey, in February of '00, created an online art project called An Anatomy. It is apart of gallery 9 in the Walker Art Center. An Anatomy is a almost an artificial lifeform that a user interacts with when that person visits the site. The "life form" interacts with the user/users and is ever-changing because of it. She says that she tries to portray the work as one that is collaborated with the use of people across the globe. Everyone is at one place at once and effecting the life form in their own way. What drew me to the work was her idea of time. I have heard time mentioned in a lot of art and I feel that this essence of time is used in all art. Time is what changes the life form and time is also what lets the person get to know the life form. I just think it is cool that something can be effected by so many people therefore being a product of everyone.
