Abstract

The aim of this project is to visually demonstrate a personal understanding of the evolution of the computer generated "image work" [Mat77], by means of a free associative process that utilises the search and query mechanisms of the internet. What has been attempted is the creation of a structure that displays this process by showing the data gathered in detail as well as in its entirety: Zooming in and out of objects and by means of virtual navigation, following free associations that can be evoked through online thesauruses, internet search engines and the ensuing surf mechanisms utilising the act of image creation, very much like collage/assemblage. Thus, seeking chance encounters and found objects, the author does turn not to second hand shops, bookstores and discarded magazines and catalogs, but to the internet.
