18 Black Girls Ages 1-18
Who Have Arrived at the Singularity
and are Thus Spiritual Machines:
$1 in an edition of $97,000,000,000,000
is a performance during which I google the phrase "1 year old black girl" ascending in age to the age of 18. I allow Google's "popular searches" algorithm to predict what comes after the phrase and peruse the results based on what Google thinks I want to search for in a Black girl. The algorithm generates results based on the most popular searches so it can be theorized that the Black girls that the algorithm predicts are the Black girls we are searching for.
Documentation of the first performance is above.
This performance will take place every three months until there are 97 quadrillion editions. Over the course of several performances the results will change and transform as the Black girls we all search for and the circumstances they live in do the same.
In edition to this piece I will document another performance entitled,
"18 Black Boys Ages 1 - 18
Who Have Arrived at the Singularity
and are Thus Spiritual Machines"
This parallel performance will be $1 in an edition of $97,000,000,000,000.99
