shown at unl open studio night, november 14th, 2008
usingĀ 31 dichotomies from an essay called The Cyborg Manifesto by Donna Haraway
a google image query gets made each time a new word is displayed
the 20 or so results are shuffled and then displayed
a minimum of five computers need to be running and processing data (with countless in between to handle the traffic moving hundreds of miles) to complete this: your own, my webserver, google, and two webservers that host the dichomety-queried image.
i built it using php/javascript, see the code.
