Last week I put my portfolio on my website as a PDF.
Today I discovered that Google had somehow scanned the PDF for words (even if they were in a JPEG) to make them searchable. Thank you, Google.
I clicked on my PDF from Google and selected "view as HTML" - because I was curious as to how it could take a PDF and convert it to HTML.
My discovery was that it had taken the text and placed it in seemingly random order and placement.
The result was something I thought was almost more pleasing to look at than the original work I had put in the PDF.
It makes me wonder what other kind of art is sitting out there on google, just waiting to be discovered.
