About
In Search by Image, Live (Lena/Fabio), Berlin-based artist Sebastian Schmieg uses Google’s reverse image search engine to unpack the growing narratives around the infamous image of Lena Söderberg. Shot for a Playboy magazine centerfold in 1972, the image later became ubiquitous in its use by computer programmers to test software algorithms.
