Cory Arcangel : Punk Rock 101 (2006)
« A while back, I made a web page which paired Kurt Cobain’s suicide letter with Google Ads (google ads are generated from the text of the page they appear on). It was up for a while but after getting digged google decided to remove the ads from the page. I took some screen shots while it was up and below are two examples of what it looked like. Also below are the checks that google sent me!”

As a side note, Cory did get paid for the advertisements on the page when people visited. This $117.97 that Google paid him added to the oddity of the piece. Cory : « Oh yeah, I did get paid ! »
UBERMORGEN.COM (Lizvlx et Hans Bernhard) avec Alessandro Ludovico et Paolo Cirio (du collectif [epidemiC]) : « Google Will Eat Itself » (2005)
« Un plan machiavélique qui a failli tourner court, Google ayant résilié son contrat pour le site GWEI.org dès qu’il a eu vent du projet. Ce qui n’a pas empêché les hacktivistes de continuer leur action sur d’autres sites tenus secrets. L’opération a rapporté pour l’instant 2 900 dollars et permit d’acquérir 12 actions Google. »

Angie Waller : « The Most Boring Places in the World », 2009
"The Most Boring Places in the World" is a Google Earth tour that pinpoints the location of bloggers, live journal-ers, and chat room commentators. These sources claim that the city they live in or vacationed in is more boring than any other place they can imagine, at least during the time of their post. Most locations do not repeat (with the exception of North Carolina, Ohio, Zurich and Singapore). What these destinations share in common is their ability to inspire existential crises, home-from-college woes, and the suffering specific to beautiful scenery, suburban sprawl and shopping

“Using UN statistical data, the "safest" place on earth was located and a geotagged image from Flickr was used to represent it.”
