VIDEO POST relaunches Newspeak, a project by Pip Thornton & Ray Interactive, inspired to George Orwell’s 1984, the romance that anticipated a world driven by the politics of surveillance. This time, to be surveilled is language, the one that is used in the search engine.
“The Google algorithm becomes the surveillant reader of every word we put through the search engine”.
