Ars Electronica Festival · 2004
Money Plus
by Peter Cho
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2004
In 2004, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Money Plus” by Peter Cho (Net Based Art) with a Honorary Mention.
Money Plus is a software-based art work which looks for “money” on the Internet by querying the Google search engine in real time. Users can add another term to their search for money, for example, “money and the meaning of life.” These searches appear instantaneously in the reimagined “web space” of the piece.
