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.
