An artwork by media artist Geert Mul who won the Dutch art+technology award 2010 (Witteveen and Bos). God’s Browser is a generative interactive installation that features a film whose every frame is an image taken from the internet. Specially developed image recognition software sorts images available on the world wide web and places them in sequence, resulting in a generative film made up of thousands of online images. In God’s Browser, Geert Mul reflects on the internet as a repository of innumerable terabytes of information, an archive (or dump) of users’ knowledge, thoughts, daily experiences, desires and fears.
God’s Browser materializes the role of the internet as an archive, a dump and a mirror for each of its users.
