To find each image, I typed “Jack” alongside an additional word into Google Image Search. I then selected an image and turned it into a drawing. This project questions the tendency to outsource my search to an algorithm while having my perspective mediated by Google. Given the amount of time I spend online, to turn digital images into drawings is an attempt to foreground material reality against a virtual backdrop.

This project includes twenty-eight drawings to date.

Our compulsion to discover new stuff once required us to go out and walk around. Now it's gratified with a flick of a finger.

This is what "search" has meant: a journey of exploration and self-creation, not an instant swipe to already composed answers.
