Portræt af Kenneth Goldsmith-eleven Naser Khader signeret mig LB

  • Hjertet bløder (af Naser Khader og Stig Matthiesen), 2015-2017
    • Bogen blev trukket tilbage af forlaget (People's Press) i maj mdr. 2017 pga. plagiering. Kreativ Direktør hos People's Press Jakob Kvist sagde: "Det er en ren tilståelsessag. Vi er skyldige i uagtsomt intellektuelt tyveri, og det er vi meget kede af. Jeg bøjer mig i støvet for dokumentationen. Vi trækker bogen tilbage med det samme og brænder, hvad der er tilbage af den".[52]
    • Ifølge Weekendavisen indeholdt mindst 11 af bogens 75 kapitler "længere passager, som efter alt at dømme er skrevet af efter bøger, artikler og opslagsværker som Wikipedia, som på intet tidspunkt nævnes i bogen."[52]

Google-fingre

Artikel af Kenny Goldsmith, primær post-produktiv poet, på New Yorkers hjemmeside om folk, der samler på Google-scanning-uheld:


Google-Hands-580.jpeg
“It was while looking at Google’s scan of the Dewey Decimal Classification system that I saw my first one—the hand of the scanner operator completely obscuring the book’s table of contents,” writes the artist Benjamin Shaykin. What he saw disturbed him: it was a brown hand resting on a page of a beautiful old book, its index finger wrapped in a hot-pink condom-like covering. In the page’s lower corner, a watermark bore the words “Digitized by Google.”
There are several collections of Google hands around the Web, each one as creepy as the one Shaykin saw. A small but thriving subculture is documenting Google Books’ scanning process, in the form of Tumblrs, printed books, photographs, online videos, and gallery-based installations. Something new is happening here that brings together widespread nostalgia for paperbound books with our concerns about mass digitization. Scavengers obsessively comb through page after page of Google Books, hoping to stumble upon some glitch that hasn’t yet been unearthed.

Og yes, jeg er også bare en Google-fabriksarbejder - gør et citat (fra endnu en meta-Google-kunstner) til slut i artiklen klart: 

 “Everyone who uses the free Google perks—Gmail, cloud-storage, Google Books, Blogger, YouTube—becomes a knowledge worker for the company. We’re performing freestyle data entry. Where knowledge is perceived as a public good, Google gathers its income from the exchange of information and knowledge, creating additional value in this process. Google, as we know it and use it, is a factory.”

Se, min hånd 13, min nye store hånd:
