The overcrowding of the Internet, and it’s ubiquitous public access, have created a huge virtual archive, containing the most diverse information. Through search engines it is possible to obtain all sorts of data from this global archive. Just one word is needed to automatically get millions of multimedia results. It is within this framework that I’ve decided to ponder and develop my work; being my own name: “Diego Martinez” the keywords used for the search. The result of this the consists on millions of images of different nature all grouped under the same name, which will be then selected and painted as if they were image thumbnails outside the computer.
The work painted with oil on MDF wood, each image painted at a 1:1 scale corresponds to the exact size of the images on the computer screen.
