Image Atlas … Exploring Cultural Associations through words and images
Imageatlas.org created in part by the late Aaron Swartz and Taryn Simon, was developed for Rhizome and The New Museum by Dom Hofmann and is described as:
Image Atlas investigates cultural differences and similarities by indexing top image results for given search terms across local engines throughout the world. Visitors can refine or expand their comparisons from the 57 countries currently available, and sort by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or alphabetical order.
Try it out for yourself==> imageatlas.org and see/post what you find :)
