fly tweet
by David Bowen
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2012
In 2012, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “fly tweet” by David Bowen (Interactive Art) with a Honorary Mention.
The _fly tweet_ device sends Twitter messages based on the activities of a collection of houseflies. The flies live inside an acrylic sphere along with a computer keyboard. As they move and interact inside their home, they fly over the keys on the keyboard. These movements are collected in real time on video.
