In SITE1, a fly-through of a three-dimensional space takes viewers on a journey into an intricate, machinic object resembling a spinning wheel, which gradually evolves into a cave-like environment. Embedded in the cave are elements of the character group depicted in Auriea Harvey’s sculpture Ox, on view in Refigured. The virtual world represents an archaeological dig into the “origin site” of Harvey’s characters. Just as her sculpture blends boundaries between virtual and tangible forms, SITE1 merges a virtual object and an environment. While the project appears as a continuous fly-through in the exhibition, viewers can navigate it themselves online starting March 3, 2023.
