Tweeting Colors

Description

"Tweeting Colors" is webpage comprised of vertical color bars created by special tweets from Twitter users. Anyone can view the piece, but a Twitter user in the public timeline can add bars by following the simple directions linked to from the bottom of the page. The newest bars appear from the left. The page auto-refreshes a few times a minute, so sit back and enjoy the Color Feed.

Thanks to Donovan Buck for the provided scripting. Created as part of a virtual residency with Glasstire.com.

Rhizome Terms: Digital, Interactive art, Internet, Net art

Artist Terms: bars, color, tweet, twitter

Biography
I'm a visual artist using the Internet as source material. I have an MS degree in Visualization Science (Texas A&M University, 2000) and an MFA in Photography/Digital Media (University of Houston, 2007). This past spring I exhibited prints and animations of my website abstractions in the group show "Syntax" at Boston University's Photographic Resource Center. Currently, I am producing new web-based work as part of a virtual residency with Glasstire.com. This new work is being presented at http://www.afeverishdream.com.
