What Internet search would have looked like when IBM System 360 ruled the world
Google60 is Norbert Landsteiner’s art piece that tries to convey what google.com search would have looked like back in the 60’s — when IBM System 360 monsters ruled the machine rooms. An absolute gem for all the 360 nerds left out there.
