- How to Talk to Images. Richard Wright' s randomly compiled database of over 50,000 internet images. Internetspeaks randomizes images and allows you to view them one by one without context, Mimeticon searches for images based on visual similarity. (h/t Networked Performance)
No one is sure how many images there are on the internet. Google has nearly a billion. Some people say it is hundreds of times more than that. Some people say that you can find a picture of anything on the internet, as though the entire visual world is reflected there. But although we are used to hunting for images using search engines, we still have to use words to describe them. If we type in the word "square" we are likely to get pictures of shoppers in Times Square. And how can you search for an image that defies a verbal description, or one that has no counterpart in the world of symbolic language?
