Description (in English):
Goss went to an internet cafe in the lower east side on the winter solstice of December 21st and again on the summer solstice of June 21st.
"Solstice" is made from the words and phrases that appeared in Google on the cafe's computers on those days. The computers were set to "autoComplete" so by simply typing a letter, she could see all previous searches done beginning with that letter.
The result is a combinatory found poem generator that the user configures by hitting individual keys to add phrases beginning with the corresponding letter.
