Ten years after net art had been declared dead, browser-based art production was still thriving. This is when Constant Dullaart got the idea to revolve the Internet, at least to animate a Google search page accompanied by the soundtrack of Dusty Springfield’s »Windmills of Your Mind,« which increments the anyway present parody effect.

The rotating version of Google »therevolvinginternet.com« draws attention to its ubiquity and hegemony, which increased from 2010. Ever since then market dominance of the company is growing, and so too does criticism of its services and actions. It has been associated with the PRISM surveillance program; it violates search neutrality and generates filter bubbles, which can lead to partial or complete misinformation of its users. Nevertheless, it remains unavoidable for online searches all over the world, except China, from where Google pulled out in 2010. But, as it has recently turned out, Google plans to launch a censored version of its search engine that will »blacklist websites and search terms about human rights, democracy, religion, and peaceful protest« (»The Intercept«).
Google keeps revolving, literally.

The documentation of the project is available online.
