Is the feeling familiar, when you look at a vinyl record (or a waveform of a sound sample) and kind of ‘see’ the music and also know in advance what to expect? This feeling took over many times this year when I was browsing for something specific on the internet, looking at the images in these web search results. A rolling mass of information in which I think I discovered repetition, some playfulness, mood and and in cases atmosphere. The results of these specific searches I stacked on top of each other, creating the images below. I would like to show these now in the form of an unusual annual evaluation. I selected the topics based on the hottest searches of the year.
