An Installation in which real time online content is straeamed and printed

according to emotional categorization. Modified receipt printers continuously

print out tweets containing the words ‘happy’, ‘sad’ and ‘love’. A trading

of exchanged tweets takes places between audience and performer,

according to the value of the tweets. The receipt paper piles up on the floor

below computer screens that display the streaming information. A website

accompanies the project displaying the share index and value of each

emotional that is being expressed in the tweets.

A large google maps website that contains different coloured landmark icons

that reveal videos of people remembering where they grew up against a

backdrop of the environment on google streetview. The streetview landscape

explores the local area while the person recalls their favorite aspects of their

neighbourhood and where they grew up. The video is watched in a window

frame within the google maps interface. The people talk about what they can

see, how the place has changed (or how different it looks) and what they can

remember.

A series of 5 boxes that contain 5 videos that together make up a bootleg

in gray tone with white lettering on the case and black on each individual vhs

sleeve. Each video case contains an image of a television tower overlayed

with 5 circles that represent an analogue broadcast signal.
