Bert Hubert created #googerteller, a small programme which sonifies the data collected by #Google while we browse online.

"The _Companion Species Manifesto_ is, thus, about the implosion of nature and culture in the relentlessly historically specific, joint lives of dogs and people who are bonded in significant otherness." — P.16, Donna Haraway (1993)
