BananaSlug, serendipitous surfing.

BananaSlug Steve Nelson is another example of Google-creative art that uses semantic combinations to query the vast database. The concept is at the center of the 'serendipitous surfing', ie the navigation guided by the 'serendipity', a term translated as "the chance to make a pleasant and unexpected discoveries." A concept that has guided various artistic research related to information technology, marrying well with its characteristics of infinite programming and, sometimes, on the generation of unpredictable results. The software, which uses the API Goggle adds random terms ('seeds', ie seeds) looking set, combining them into a path parallel to the intentional, the results are partially unintended, which open at times, new scenarios compared to what we expected to find. There are some predefined sets of terms with which to draw, but the heart of this work is the semantic game, with huge potential in the now ricombinatorie efficient content database. Your use of the search engine like artistic technique has aggregated a little scene in its own right that has taken as a field of research the first widely accepted standard indexing of the web. Many, in fact, have over time been the examples of Google-art, including: GooglePoweredGoggleBox , GoogleSynth , The Google Art creator , Google.art poetry , Googlewhacking. , No Memory and Raygun .
