Inspired by the ideas of Kenneth Goldsmith and his notion of 'uncreative writing', I created this collection as an experiment in making poetry through found text online. the book comprises a compilation of poems created from Google search engine results, alongside images of the fluctuations in each search, which modify in realtime depending on the everchanging popularity of certain searches. I presented the book as being a collaborative effort with all the users of Google Br, highlighting that each poem was a product of the users collective searches, not of the author's own creativity.
