Wikigod, the focal point of Google Searching for God, presents the physical transcription of the hypertext source for Wikipedia’s definition of God. A hand-typed scroll, using a typewriter containing no ink, is presented atop a long narrow table. The scroll is nearly sixty feet in length, however, it is shown only to the length of the space provided. The table is modular and can be adjusted to fit the space in which the piece is exhibited. Every time the word “God” appears in the coding, the text is illuminated from below.
