Project # 3: Spoken word self portrait





Artists statement: For this project I decided that since I spent a good amount of my time communicating on social networks, I would use my twitter to define the content of my spoken word portrait. I decided to use a tweetcloud, which shows you which words you use most frequently on twitter. I realized that most of my most used words were extremes of one another, such as love, and hate, so I clicked on both love and hate, and chose various tweets containing them, composing a list of sorts. Most of the items on the list contradicted each other, so I decided to set them up in a parallel fashion. What resulted was a spoken list of contrasting likes and dislikes, which I feel defines my fickle nature quite well.
