Crawlers by Slava Rybin

Nowadays, much of the internet is explored not by humans, but by machines. Invisible programs known as crawlers move through websites, following links, reading pages, and collecting information. They are fundamental to how the internet is indexed, organized, and increasingly used as a source of material for artificial intelligence. Yet, despite their constant activity, we rarely encounter these machines or consider their behavior. In Crawlers, Slava gives these invisible processes a body, a voice, and a habitat, transforming the automated extraction of information into a living, playful, and occasionally chaotic experience.
