TWITTERSTORM Live Twitter-feed artwork – In The Dark Exhibition

January 21 2019//

Video of  TWITTERSTORM by Sandra Crisp – A dynamic code-based projection incorporating live Twitter-feed on the ceiling of The Cello Factory during ‘In the Dark‘ exhibition,  London, January 2019.

The Twitter live-feed (viewed as a horizontal banner of scrolling white text) connects to Twitter API and downloads tweets that use specific hashtags including: #brexit #trump #fakenews #cat #banana #topNews #onThisday

Visitors to the exhibition could also use the Twitter hashtag #cellonews to interact with the work via Twitter.

Twitterstorm is loosely based on artist Jenny Holzer’s Truisms

Viewed in the modern day, Truisms reads like an insistent, torrential Twitter feed.
