Google Tweeds (2014)

A triptych of process-based digital collages, Google Tweeds (2014), is made up of thousands of appropriated images.

Each work is begun in the same way: a selfie is borrowed from the net, uploaded to Google Images, and a search is run.  The Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) algorithms that Google then deploys to identify and collate like-photos remain a closely guarded industry secret, but this it does, up to 2,000 images at a time.  The search results are downloaded, in the order in which they are presented, and placed in a grid, provided by Photoshop.  The last search result is fed into Google Images again, and the process is repeated until the grid is filled.  A screen movie, made as Photoshop compiles the final grid, is presented with the collages.
