The Guggenheim Museum has started an initiative to bring web based artworks into their collection and the first they have commisioned is ShuLea Chang's BRANDON - A one year narrative project in installments based on the highly controversial case of Brandon/Teena Brandon, a woman living as a man in Falls City, Nebraska who was sexually assaulted and killed in 1993. In 1997 Auriea worked as collaborator with ShuLea and Beth Stryker to develop the artwork and interfaces for one section of the project; the panopticon interface, which contains a population of case files and in which over the course of the next year will become an artist in residency space for others involved with the project. The concept of this space as described by ShuLea: circuited panopticon interface houses cases of sexual deviants and prison inmates. Serving both as hospital wards (6) and prison cells (6); both as transient station and surveillance apparatus; this interface is set up as a prelude to the installments at Theatrum Anatomicum, Amsterdam.
