    Google macht frei | 2013

Marussiac follows precisely this phenomenon: "Who determines the flow of information determines its own world because it can change the information and can control the people." Installing the name "Google Macht Frei". Marussiac this appropriated title as ironic mockery of the Holocaust period ("Arbeit Macht Frei"-Work-frees. The Nazi slogan was an insult to all those who were deported to the concentration camp). Done with google dummy prisoner. Prisoner that can be removed for their views. Marussiac somehow warns against the use of digital mass media as one of the potential sources of electronic fascism.
