Using Google’s — the most popular internet search engine — option “I am feeling lucky” and the word “Object” to wander through internet database, i picked up the first image of that inquiry, naming the piece after the image’s name. This is a chaotic/non-chaotic way to find an object, employing the world’s fastest computers and biggest databases on the search of a generic entry while giving the algorithms the power to choose, the result should be more/less specific than any other possibility of search.
Renouncing the artistique auteur and just acting with the most generic, blank and simple meanings of that virtual form, the work blends itself into the prosaic limit of it’s own rules of achievement. This also reflects internet’s spirit of all possibilities that get you nowhere. Object1_answer was based on the idea that a virtual object could transform itself through space, even virtual space.
This project was presented in the Bluebottle Art Gallery using an iMac connected to the internet, where the image is hosted.
