Re: [Yasmin_announcements] digital aesthetics on twitter

In response to Roger Malina's posting of Frank Dietrich's TeleCulture on
digital aesthetics on Twitter, I send on links to works in progress and
exhibitions at MIT, which the readers may find of interest. Alex
Dragulescu's Data Portraits series use text messaging, web interfaces, and
Twitter postings to extract salient words from an individuals postings to
visualize the topical and temporal patterns into a data portrait of the
author. In one series, each portrait is composed of that individuals
conversations. The portraits pulse with scrolling words.

The experimental works broaden the digital aesthetic and, aside from the
commercial and governmental ramifications, have the potential to become a
new vocabulary of art, poetry, dance and architecture. Conceptually and
visually the works are striking.
