#FEEDmixer

#FEEDmixer is an interactive mash-up of real-time Twitter data, video and audio. In passive mode, viewers watch a data visualization of the number of Tweets based on the current top trending topics on Twitter. In active mode, users live-mash Tweets, video, and audio at a DJ console, and their work is displayed on 6 large LCD-screens in front of them.

#FEEDmixer was built using openFrameworks, Open Sound Control (OSC), Max, the Mass Relevance API, the Twitter API, custom video and audio samples, and custom-fabricated wood casing.

The project was installed at #FEED, an interactive-art exhibition at the 2012 SXSW Festival in Austin, TX, sponsored by Samsung and Twitter.


Collaborators: Hirumi Nanayakkara, Maya Weinstein, Nidhi Malhotra, Matt Davis (of [namethemachine]), Jonny Wilson (of Eclectic Method) and Alejandro Crawford, with support from Learned Evolution and Parsons The New School for Design.
