This book was generated from the online database of Strasbourg media libraries and more specifically from the Artothèque database. The Artothèque is based on the same principle as a library but instead of borrowing books, you can borrow artworks. I focused on artworks records for which pictures are not available online. People who want to borrow these pieces would probably ask the search engine to get an overview and they would obtain a flow of various images. I drew on this process to generate my printed version of the catalogue. The first part indexes artworks in the alphabetical order on white pages to refer to the lack of visual and sends the reader to a second part. In this one, artworks are indexed following the number of Google results. A new picture is generated with the software ImageMagick, mixing the first 20 Google results for each artwork.
