Semantic Disturbances est une série de quatre tableaux animés réalisés par l'artiste transdisciplinaire Andreas Maria Jacobs (A. Andreas). L'internaute navigue d'un tableau à l'autre à partir de la page d'accueil de l'oeuvre, contenant aussi une courte description du projet. Chaque tableau est constitué d'images photographiques plus ou moins manipulées auxquelles se superpose du texte provenant de recherches Google. Ces recherches sont effectuées à partir de termes dérivés des thèmes de chacun des tableaux: «fluidal», «radiator», «destruction» et «architexture». Toutefois, le texte qui s'affiche ne demeure pas stable; il est soumis à un ensemble de manipulations automatisées qui en détournent le sens, produisant du coup de nouveaux contextes de lecture.

Notes: 
4 Nonlineair Poetic Automata. Requires FireFox browser. Reenforcing changing attitudes and roles towards art, religion and technology. An experimental research using Google search results. Textual fragments found on the Web are programmatically rearranged, deformed or crushed, deconstructing and recontextualizing the actual text. By applying this strategic process 'new, dismantling and reorienting' contexts arise, not directly fitting in the mundanity of the original result listings.
