The series Billow consists of sculptural LED screens displaying abstract animations created from real-time data of the most popular searches on Google.
The colors of the animations are determined by the popularity of a specific topic: the more viral the search becomes, the warmer the tones. Each day’s most searched queries briefly appear as overlaid text before fading into a smoky abstraction. These persistent forms create the illusion of intertwined images.
Another key element in the works is the curved, architectural intersections of the sculptures. The undulating silhouettes of technological streams evoke the natural world of rivers, hills, and valleys. Canogar creates sculptures of the immaterial electronic realm to better understand the constant ebb and flow of our digital age.
