Oli Sorenson's Art Google series consist in using Google's search engine as primary creative material. Tapping into a range of canonical terms normally used to describe visual artists as singular "ex-nihilo" innovators, this project challenges such a conception that often prevails in wider audiences but which greatly contrasts with the processes operating in today's information rich societies. Originality, Talent and other descriptors - valued for their connotation to scarcity and time-consuming effort - suddenly change in character after quasi-instantaneously traversing the online search, submerged in a multitude of referents under the culture of globalised networks.
