“A lonely Google Space Oddity” is a tragico-comic performance project by Guido Segni: his personal, lonely, and performative space oddity in the data-based universe of Google Sky.
Started in early December 2011, each day about 250 pieces (tiles) of universe are copied from Google database and then posted on Tumblr. Guido Segni’s gesture is the attempt to piece together the whole universe – as Google knows it – in the archive of a Tumblr Blog.
Considering that Google Sky universe contains about 44,085,333 pieces, the “Google space oddity” performance is scheduled to be completed in about 480 years, but it is still not clear whether the audience, Google’s servers, the tumblr archive, the Internet, or even the universe itself will last long enough to see the end.
In the meanwhile, enjoy.
(so far about 30,140 small pieces of universe have been copied from Google Sky and moved to Tumblr.)
