  • Google Image is the largest image search engine on the Internet. By its guiding principles, it should display the most relevant images for searches. Ten years ago, Felix Heyes and Ben West put this principle to the test.
  • In their book Google Volume 1 (2013), they replaced the 21,110 words and meanings in the English Pocket Dictionary with the first image appearing in a Google Images search. Some images were obvious, others comical or downright shocking
  • The illustrated dictionary highlighted the search engine’s biases and limitations, as well as the relative poverty of results presumed to be most relevant. 
  • The first Google volume  testified to the visual culture of its time. However, the Internet is constantly evolving. Ten years later, the same 21,110 words were searched again in the engine
  • Number of pages: 1,328 pages
  • Dimensions:  21 x 30.2 cm
