Artist Statement
Google as an archive of medical conditions and bodily diseases. The Search Engine is reconfigured here as a collection of popular search requests on medical conditions; where it would seem the natural and normal state of the body is sickness. The work makes an implicit link between the internet and the breakdown of the human body.
The history of the human body; an archive, catalogue of incurable, terminal, chronic, banal and benign conditions of the flesh. Appearing as if the internet was invented for the sole purpose of researching information on medical conditions, to uncover, explore and open up the body.
