In an effort to explore our cultural relationship with computer technology, artist Jeff Thompson watched 20 years worth of Law & Order – a total of 456 episodes – and documented when computers were used and how.  The project was commissioned by the arts and technology organization Rhizome.

Ahem).  We're not expecting you to master the same feat of watching 20 years worth of episodes in just 1 1/2, but take a moment to look back at your all-time favorites. Share on the Word of Mouth Twitterand Facebook pages or comment below! Doink-doink.
