Bob The Browser

The 'Human Browser' art project has been going for a few years now, and was recently featured at the Biennale of Sydney, 2008.

It's a series of live performances, with an actor playing the role of a web browser, taking a live feed based on a Google hack.

Here's the artist's description of it:

As the world-system reaches its limitations (depletion of natural resources, expected end of low-cost labour, the end of the ideology of liberalism, the fading of desire, etc.), capitalism uses the irony of history to try to relaunch its paradoxical machinery by pushing back its internal limits: freedom of speech is revealed to be the prerequisite for the scientific colonization of intimacy; global terrorism and reality TV feed a spectacle regulated by the panoptical enslavement mechanism of the blogosphere; "Irational Behaviour" that was for long seen as the limit of any economical theory becomes the new field for the externalisation of advertising costs.  Human Browser, the perpetual dandy, embodies this 'Irational Behaviour''.

I tried to make sense of this at Google Translate, but unfortunately they don't yet have a setting for the language of Art Wank.
