If we only had the internet to learn about anything, we would have all sorts of visual media through which to wade. And what about Biblical figures? What if we were to use Google and YouTube to learn about the Biblical character Jezebel? The most recent and popular postings, arguably, are accurate indications of pop culture regarding Jezebel. As such, they indicate current conceptions of this character.
My goal was to recreate the experience of learning about Jezebel using the internet. The graphics featured in this video essay are recreations of actual search results.
