Twitter Radio.
This was created for the Live Performance Systems module last semester. It is an interactive installation which uses an old fashioned radio, to receive Twitter messages (or tweets). These tweets are organised into “stations” and using the radio, the user can “tune into” these spoken tweets. It uses an Arduino microcontroller to get the data from the tuning and volume dials, and a MaxMSP/Quartz program to receive the tweets, organise and speak the tweets.
Got featured on BBC and more!
