Glads is a series of three large-scale artworks depicting life through the medium of targeted Google ads. Life events become a point of barter. People become commodities.
After building an engine to cultivate Google's keyword based ads, Scriptographer was used to turn greyscale raster images into an abstracted mosaic of adverts. The resulting details are variously dark, funny, tangential and trite.

An interesting branch within spam / ads visualization. I'd like to hear more about how you gathered the google ads and categorized their weight / scale for manipulation with the bitmap.
