UTOPIC TWEETS (THE PUBLIC POEM) 

UTTPP banner.png

Part of Generator Summer Programme 2014 (18th-24th August 2014) 

A week long online experiment creating a collective digital poem by means of Twitter.

Contributing towards GENERATOR’S Summer Programme 2014, ‘Utopias of Collective Dreaming’ I presented a web based evolving digital poem.

‘Utopic Tweets; a Public Poem’ will invite people to tweet a sentence regarding their thoughts on what is, or can be, Utopia, and will use snippets of these insights to create a work of poetry continually ‘in flux’- developing throughout the week of GENERATOR’s summer programme.

Throughout the process, this continually forming & reforming poem about utopia was able to be viewed online at: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/utopictweets

The News.

An ongoing and durational online project culminating in a series of charts updated once a day based on my interpretation of how I define the type of news experienced today via traditional news channels and outlets.

Defined and understood by the three terms; FAKE NEWS, NEWS, REAL NEWS. 

FN01: News is just News

FN02: News becoming news because the news was interrupted by life. Three way tie: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-39232538

FN03: Who wants to leave and why?
