A Simulation of Black Twitter

2020

digital multimedia

At the center of this new media piece, a pie chart is populated with the popular topics of the day concerning the subculture of "Black Twitter." These topics change dynamically since they are taken live from Twitter. Over a short amount of time, however, whatever conversations that are displayed from this community are overtaken by outsider talk bubbles that swoop in and over the pie chart, appropriating the conversation and making the original impossible to read. The user can swipe them away for a time, but they will ultimately grow and fill the screen.
