OriginalG About
Comedian (after Maurizio Cattelan) — search engine, duct tape, the open web. Dimensions variable.

OriginalG is a work of art.

It is a faithful, hand-built reconstruction of how a search engine worked in 2004 — a real crawler, a real inverted index, real PageRank — assembled from scratch for no practical reason whatsoever. Like a banana duct-taped to a wall, its value isn't in its function. It's in the gesture.

We serve it from originalg.art because it is, quite literally, art. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Google. Any resemblance is the point.

— OriginalG, mixed media (C++, Python, zlib, the open web, and tape)
