WHAT IS oN THE SITE?
An introduction – with access to Harrison’s CV, educational
background and further references.
A page of links to Harrison’s web-based projects, such as
.
(For three years, she recorded what she was thinking about every
time she had a cup of tea or a different type of hot drink.)
A series of self-explanatory pages, such as: Gallery projects,
Collaborations, and Residencies. All are kept up to date – there is
even a time marker on the left-hand corner of the website telling us
when the website was last updated.
WHAT mAkES IT STAND ouT?
For each page you click on, a light-hearted and entertaining fact
about the artist appears. This fits well with a lot of Harrison’s
work, which talks about ordinary data and how it is used. It also
establishes an engaging, open and conversational tone.
There is a fantastic links section on the right-hand side of the front
page, which shows how well networked Harrison’s web presence
is. All the links take you to more places where she can be found,
including Facebook, Twitter (with no tweets, as she is boycotting the
platform) and her Art Monthly profile.
