Conditions (Alphabet) pt.1, 2025. Video (videos from Youtube, owned by Google, parent company Alphabet Inc.)
This video collage, composed of existing footage from YouTube (owned by Google, whose parent company is Alphabet Inc.) reads out Google’s privacy policy. The piece merges the language Google uses to justify its data extraction with the crowdsourced content that makes this mining possible. At the same time, its use of recognizable objects at an overstimulating pace replicates how a corporate culture of abusive terms and conditions leverages popular culture and short attention spans. This piece is part one.
