Experiments in art : digital : life

So we’ve been interested in identity and its implications in the digital age. In fact, a lot of our work has been a version of the analog investigation of avatars.

Here’s a link to an interesting article from WIRED about what happened when one man tried to disappear without a digital trace – into an entirely new identity.

Number 1 image
Search term: performance art
Safe search: off

This was actually a really great image search. I was interested in following all the links. Take me there.

Thinking about drawing porn. And always interested in search results. This pic was the #1 on a Google image search for “porn”. Settings were Safe Search: Moderate, File type: Any, File Size: Any.

Interestingly, there was NO nudity on the first page of hits. However, there was a picture of John Ashcroft, lots of big tits, some dolls, and a lot of what appeared to be safe stock photos. A number of screen shots.

When I re-ran the search with Safe Search: Off this was still the first hit. First visible body part: Image #4 – vagina. First visible sex act: Image #4 – girl on girl oral. First visible penis: Image #10 – implied hetero oral.
