Heath Bunting

Heath Bunting, born 1966 is a Bristol based contempory artists. he is respected for his outlandish ideas and pieces and for his involvement in the the net.art movement in the 1990-of which the ideas reflect that of the conceptual art, the link between association and dissociation of of art and everyday life. One of buntings ongoing projects relating to status is ‘A Terrorist’ a map showing all the information needed to make a purchase on the internet following the Uk’s terrorist act in 2006, showing the how easily our thoughts and movements can be tracked and analysed. this subject is now even more topical with the extensive ‘cookies’ recorded on our browsers and that facebook Cambridge analytica scandal. the piece itself has a really eye catching composition, the bold line cutting through one another, resembling a web or a cell. The dedication he puts into his projects and beliefs i find so inspiring and brings information into action.
