18 Black Boys Ages 1-18
Who Have Arrived at the Singularity
and are Thus Spiritual Machines:
$6 in an edition of $97,000,000,000,000Performed in Park City, UT Jan 25, 2017 | Official Selection Sundance 2017 New Frontiers
Score by Norvis Junior
The above is a performance during which I google the phrase "1 year old black boy" ascending in age to the age of 18. I allow Google's "popular searches" algorithm to predict what comes after the phrase and peruse the results based on what Google thinks I want to search for in a Black boy. The algorithm generates results based on the most popular searches so it can be theorized that the Black boys that the algorithm predicts are the Black boys we are searching for.
This performance will take place at random intervals until there are 97 quadrillion editions. Over the course of several performances the results will change and transform as the Black boys we all search for and the circumstances they live in do the same.
In edition to this piece I will document another performance entitled:
"18 Black Girls Ages 1 - 18
Who Have Arrived at the Singularity
and are Thus Spiritual Machines"
This parallel performance will also be performed in an edition of $97,000,000,000,000.99 -
