FOUNTAIN|2002 is an interactive installation that monitors people’s online search activities. These search criteria are then used as a basis for image searches. The images retrieved are displayed as a collage on a CRT mounted under a plexi-glass tank filled with water.
In this virtual fountain images bubble up and appear to float in the water. The viewer has to look into the tank in order to see the screen. To attract attention to the fountain, search terms can also be heard using text to speech software.
