Googlegram 9/11 NY, 2005 © Joan Fontcuberta
“9/11” will truly make the meat behind your eyeballs ache. The heartbreak image of the second plane crashing into the World Trade Centre represents the virtual machinations of three word commands. “God,” “Yahve,” and “Allah.” The malignant cells of the chromogenic mural seep through its body like cancer.
In “Googlegrams,” the Spanish witchking employs a freeware photo-mosaic program that composes big pictures from zillions of tiny pictorial tiles. All culled from the World Wide Web.
