OK so this is from a while ago, but I've only just encountered it. Ahead of the curve, as ever. Adam Bartholl is a German artist who's done some pretty cool projects around online intersecting with offline.
The painting above is a Google Portrait, which contains the Google search string of the portrayed person, in encoded form. Taking a picture of it on your phone leads to your phone browser doing a Google search on the portrayed person’s name. The National Portrait Gallery would be a bit weirded out if all their portraits looked like this, but personally I think I look better in this format.
