Dear spectres,

“A lonely Google Space Oddity” is a project by Guido Segni and it is his
personal, lonely, and performative space oddity in the data-based universe
of Google Sky.

Started in early December 2011, each day about 250 pieces (tiles) of
universe are copied from Google database and then posted on Tumblr. Guido
Segni’s gesture is the attempt to piece together the whole universe – as
Google knows it – in the archive of a Tumblr Blog.

According to the opinions of the experts, considering that  Google Sky
universe contains about 44,085,333 of pieces, the “Google space oddity”
performance is supposed to be completed in about 480 years, but it is still
not clear if the audience, the Google’s servers, the tumblr archive or the
universe itself will last enough to see the end.

In the meanwhile, enjoy.

('till now about 30,140 small pieces of universe have been copied from
Google Sky and moved to Tumblr.)
