This work emerges from an ongoing dialogue, at times an argument, with an algorithm around the concept of the slave ship. Drawing on a practice that moves fluidly between physical and digital realms, Auriea Harvey imagines a vessel so shaped by generations of human confinement that the boundary between ship and body collapses. The result is a speculative diagram in which structure, memory, and humanity become inseparable.

Known for pioneering work across net art, video games, XR, and digital sculpture, Harvey uses prompt-based AI here not as an end in itself, but as a tool for thinking through form. The image operates both literally as a ship and conceptually as an attempt to visualise how what a structure contains can transform its outward appearance over time. Selected outputs are treated as concept material, later translated into 3D models and texture maps that inform the production of a final sculptural work.

Auriea Harvey (b. 1971) creates simulations and sculptures that traverse the physical and digital realms. Having probed the depths of net art and video games, her current work directs its attention towards digital sculpture, 3D printing, and mixed reality. As half of the artist duo which over time has been known as Entropy8 Zuper!/Tale of Tales/Song of Songs, Harvey is known for pioneering works in Internet Art, video games, and XR. Based in Rome, she is a Professor of Games at Kunsthochschule Kassel. She was part of the curated Christie’s auction PROOF OF SOVEREIGNTY in 2021 and her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, US; SFMOMA, San Francisco, US; and Rhizome’s Net Art Anthology. Harvey’s video games and VR works have been shown internationally including at Tinguely Museum, Basel, Switzerland; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, UK; the New Museum, New York, US; and ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany. She is the recipient of a Creative Capital grant and a winner of the Independent Games Festival Nuovo Award.
