"Lucy Woodhouse's performance DATA (Experimental Inkjet), uses printers and scanners to create live visuals and unique prints based on the H.G. Wells book 'World Brain' Using the scans of the book to spell out 'Google' in binary code she draws parallels to the private company Google's current ambition to scan every book in the world.  Published in 1938 the science fiction author H.G. Wells first presented the idea of universal access to all human knowledge and it's implications."
