Little doubt remains that the information revolution has changed the human psyche forever more. Unanswerable conundrums used to plague our Saturday nights round the telly: what’s he been in before? She’s dead isn’t she? Why exactly do dogs chase cats? Where Google has enriched our lives, it’s also made mum and dad a bit quieter.
Using the Oxford English Pocket Dictionary and its 21,110 words as a basis for Google, Volume 1, Felix Heyes and Ben West – of Peckham creatives King Zog – present each word replaced by the first image that Google throws up. A very 21st century look into our world, and perhaps the most comprehensive visual reference in existence.
Google, Volume 1 is available from Jean Boîte Éditions, Paris for 95€
