Twipology is a garden generated from Twitter conversations using the hashtags whatever, system, control, radical, surface, cigarette, pink, raw, passage, abstract, kindergarten, superficial. Visitors are welcome to walk, sit, dance, rest, contemplate, spend hours or days in the space.

Twipology is a comment on the uses of personal data for narrated digital fabrication.

The project changed scale when it was conceived for a large room exhibition.
We also had to address different parameters such as material constraints, size, orientation, etc.
