In the Image of the Text

Tags: 
Description (in English): 

An endless textual fiction is generated, freely inspired by the writings of Alain Robbe-Grillet. Certain words in the text are sent to a search engine and images are returned and inserted into the text.

Original 2003 work appears to be offline, but there is a 2012 video installation of the same name, apparently using much of the same material.
