Searchsonata 181

Searchsonata 181 is part of the SEARCH TRILOGY (search lutz!, 2006 - searchSongs, 2008 - searchSonata 181, 2011) that performes algorithmically generated texts. The consistency of this trilogy is the usage of words that are typed in real time into searchengines like Google & Co. These search terms are processed by algorithm for further use. In SearchSonata 181 search terms are processed into phonetics as an acoustic bridge between text and sound. The web interface is a means to an end. The essence emerges with a live performance of the algorithmically generated texts by a speaker. The texts are played back into real space: the message has to pass through the algorithm without getting caught there.
