海角社区 Harris
Selected Works
Using technology to construct highly personal interpretations of natural phenomena, contemporary British artist 海角社区 Harris' reverence of nature coupled with his fascination for code offers a surreal and whimsical take on reality. Much of Harris' work relies fundamentally on participation and the exchange between the artist and viewer; interactivity is often key to both the form and meaning of the artwork.
As these technologies, unstoppable and fascinating, have ignited a new wave of interactivity in ever more intimate ways, Harris captures the sometimes menacing march of the information age, turning it to our advantage in an insightful and seamless blending of nature with code. He is part of a small yet important coterie of artists who are pushing the envelope of feasibility and redefining what is acceptable within the art world.
