why I love twitter

The boyfriend doesn't get twitter. I am addicted. I follow way too many people and check it constantly. But my favorite thing about twitter is the occasional totally unexpected response from someone super cool.

Recently I tweeted:
I like to think that @AskMrMickey and I would be friends if we met. He's fabulous and his tweets are hilarious. Happy Friday guys!

And what did I find later? A reply from Mickey Boardman himself!

@francescalyn Well honey my parents live in Daytona so you never know. We might meet at Picadilly Cafeteria at the Volusia Mall! I LOVES it!

Meet me in Daytona Mr. Mickey!

project idea for my visualization class

Hi everyone! I thought I would include my project ideas here as well as the required class blog I have to complete. Below is a rough outline of my idea:

We are constantly bombarded with information. We are suffering from image anxiety. I check twitter too much. What if their was a way to gauge how active twitter was by looking at a visualization?

Using the data from twitter I want to make spontaneous generated murals. Murals are already somewhat immersive because of the relation of size to a human. This mural would change every time someone tweeted and also change due to topics that are currently trending. That way you wouldn't have to look at twitter to know that a new topic has broken.

I want to use my aesthetic in the art piece I create. I am interested in nondigital art as well as digital (including painting, drawing, & printmaking) so I would like to create interactive pieces that still have that artistic sensibility. I am interested in mark-making that still looks handdrawn or painterly. A lot of my pieces have texture and visual movement so I would like to try to translate that to the immersive environment. Patterns created could also be exported and used as digital design elements, printed artwork, or textile design.
