Video describing the development of this work. This film was recorded for the research symposium of the Art department of Goldsmiths College, London, November 2010.
This video requires a QuickTime Plug-In. If this should not be installaed on your computer you can get it hier.
This work is based on a picture search done at the image hosting and online photo community Flickr. Desired were images tagged “Knowledge”,“Beauty”, “Truth”, “Justice”, “Quality” or “Reality”. The first 19 photos that the quest yielded for each of these terms are arranged in a ring and mark the beginning of "rays", on which further, equally tagged, images are aligned. The photographer of the first picture that showed up with the search term "Knowledge", for example, had also assigned it the tag "Kindness". In a next step, "Knowledge" and "Kindness" were used in combination to search further images ("Konwledge + Kindness"). The first result of this search was an image that was further more tagged "Andvanced Capitalism " so the base for the following search were the terms: "Knowledge + Family + Advanced Capitalism ", and so on. Every ray ends with the image whose tag combination is too complex to yield any further results.
Additional rays connect the five original terms. Photos which are assigned two of these terms in combination were placed on rays connecting the respective "universes".
