A Quiet Desert Failure

Algorithmic Tumblr blog artpiece by Guido Segni uses an internet bot to gather pictures of deserts in Google Maps and uploads them, a process which will take fifty years to complete:

In its own way, it’s a monumental piece about internet contents, emptiness, time, storage, memory, oblivion and - ultimately - failure.

I programmed an Internet bot to traverse the datascape of Google Maps in order to fill a Tumblr blog and its datacenters with a remapping representation of the whole Sahara Desert, one post a time, every 30 minutes.

The whole performance will approximately take 50 years to be completed, but it is still not clear if the audience, the Google’s servers, the tumblr archive or the Internet itself will last enough to see the end.

So, be patient, don’t hurry.

The desert is coming.
