The collection has also sparked Image Atlas a new project from artist Taryn Simon and programmer Aaron Swartz, 'Image Atlas investigates cultural differences and similarities by indexing top image results for given search terms across local engines throughout the world'. A little hard to get your head round but the basic ideas is visitors can refine or expand their search from 57 countries and sort by Gross Domestic Product or alphabetical order. Image Atlas creates the possibility for a universal visual language. The site provides an intriguing outlook and an enthralling insight into the search term and image results of various countries again a great inspiration/research tool but beware important hours of your life could be lost!
