Google Searching for God is an installation that presents my use of the #1 rated search engine GOOGLE (according to comScore’s monthly search engine rankings), to search for the one thing that human kind has sought throughout history, evidence of a higher power. Since my search has begun, the number of hits for the keyword “God” has fluctuated between four hundred million and four hundred fifty million websites depending on the addition or removal of sites each day. The work presented in this exhibition represents only part of much larger project. Mirroring empirical proof of the existence of God, this is a life-long project with no determined end.
