Karen Archey is an American art critic and curator based in New York City and Amsterdam.
[5] She contributed the essay Bodies in Space: Gender and Sexuality in the Online Public Sphere to the 2015 publication Mass Effect: Art and the Internet in the Twenty-First Century, co-published by the MIT Press and New Museum as part of the series Critical Anthologies in Art and Culture.
[10][11][12] Trevor Smith of Hyperallergic wrote that Archey and Peckham's exhibition and catalog "solidified the term “post-internet art” in our vocabulary".
As our bodies are extended and perhaps supplanted by prosthetic devices that mediate our experiences of the world, new forms of being — once known as science fiction — come alive in very real, often prosaic ways.
[3] In 2015, Archey received a Creative Capital grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for short-form writing.
