In this series, Fontcuberta has used the popular internet search engine Google to create large, colourful photo-mosaics that construct an elegant metaphor for the internet-era's liaisons between mass media and ideas of collective consciousness. Like traditional mosaics, Fontcuberta's Googlegrams can be read on two different levels: micro and macro, or individual and collective. The artist notes that the internet itself is "the supreme expression of a culture which takes it for granted that recording, classifying, interpreting, archiving and narrating in images is something inherent in a whole range of human actions, from the most private and personal to the most overt and public."
