Dianna Rawleigh The Be-In's Artist in Residence by Allen White Editor's note: Dianna Rawleigh has coordinated the many contributing artists to the cooperative physcial space that is this years' 10th Annual Digital Be-In. Explore the netcast reporting area of our website for photos of the space, and the art and artists who have made this Be-In a unique environment. Dianna Rawleigh's web images move, wink, flicker, dance. Words layer upon images, faces upon text. Yet even here, she seeks to reach beyond two dimensions, always seeking the third. These in turn shine light into a fourth dimension, the hallowed sphere enclosed by the others whose measurements are greater than merely physical. It is this search for a "sacred space" that infuses her work with breath. She has created several installations, temples like wombs that surround us with text and gauzy light. Her Anon Salon Quicktime VR images catch the throbbing matrix of archetypal Partyspace, ecstatic guests blending into distorted frescoes that melt the Boschian with the Dionysian. As her spaces surround and enclose us, they force us to realize that we are at their center, thus our own bodies become the focus of the work; the true sacred space is us. Her website contains a poem from Pablo Neruda: If each day falls inside each night, there exists a well where clarity is imprisoned. We need to sit on the rim of the well of darkness and fish for fallen light with patience. Truly, Dianna Rawleigh is the fisher at the well, her patience rewarded. Yet her work invites us to do as she; to fish, to find the fallen light within ourselves.
