Everyone looking at pics en masse would be familiar with this feeling of annoyance. Quite a few online portfolios of photographers, art dealers, model agencies or magazines fastidiously deliver pic-by-pic slide shows without providing a much more convenient overall view.<\/p>\n

Seems like there\u00b4s someone aspiring out there trying to re-educate us in our fast-pacedness, tempting to slow us down as we arrive kneeling down in front of one single picture just like in former times but<\/header>\n
\n
I\u00b4m sure those days are gone forever.<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s too easy to browse through hundreds of pics per minute. Everyone on the internet does it on a daily basis, but the slowness of one pick per click is getting on our\u00a0trembling nerves.<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n
So I took on an experiment by letting Google present the overview to my<\/strong> pics. Feeding the searching machine with \u201csite of: soodlepoodle.net<\/a>\u201c, it displays all enlisted pics of this website.<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n
The price I pay for doing this is that visitors might get confused when they click on\u00a0a \u201cpics\u201d button and are then automatically connected to google search results showing a wild mix of soodlepoodligan content.<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n
<\/header>\n

It takes a little time to get used to this kind of presentation.<\/header>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The thumbnails-to-be-found get you back to the site. Starting March 2015 I began to change around the word search as I was getting bored with always the same old resulting mix. I found an easy way to bring in some variation: there\u2019s an abundance of pictures and text, most of the pics on this blog are untagged and surrounded by text. So I took a chance<\/header>\n

by throwing in one single word to get out a diversity of pics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Different words put into the search lead to different mixes of pictures. Here are three \u201ccompilations\u201d using the search words\u00a0 \u201chabe (have)<\/a>\u201c, \u201can (at)<\/a>\u201d & \u201caus (off, from)<\/a>\u201c f.l.t.r.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot-diary-2016-01-18\"\u00a0<\/a> \"screenshot-diary-20160118an\"\u00a0<\/a> \"screenshot-diary-20160118b-\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This way of pictorial lottery turns out to be an\u00a0exciting way of juxtaposing my own pics \u2013 fotos, paintings or construction drawings find new neighbours to astonishing effects. Just like Austrian photographer Alois Hechenblaikner<\/a>, or Lilah Ramzi\u00b4s\u00a0Part Nouveau<\/a> – two artists\/curators working\u00a0(albeit more deliberately \";-)\" ) on the two-picture-phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Since then I tried these following words to make up my gallery:<\/p>\n
