Murmur Study: 30 Printers Monitor Twitter for a very Unique Art Installation

by Kurt S. on July 9, 2009

This installation consists of 30 thermal printers that continuously monitor Twitter for new messages containing variations on common emotional utterances. Messages containing hundreds of variations on words such as argh, meh, grrrr, oooo, ewww, and hmph, are printed as an endless waterfall of text accumulating in tangled piles below.

Showing at the Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis, Minnesota now through August 23th, 2009
