TwitterVoice3D

John Dyer created a twitter app that he calls TwitterVoice3D. Basically, it splashes your tweets all over the screen using random fonts, colors and positions, then reads them, one at a time – randomly. It’s truly a site to see (and hear).

He created it as an experiment, to demonstrate the chaos found in unbridled technology.  Check it out at donteatthefruit.com.

    More of this kind of thing, please!

    This is just so great. I absolutely love what he says here:

    The Online World is discarnate & disembodied – Twitter gives us a unique look into the thoughts, conversation, and activity of a person. However, it cannot represent the fullness of who a person truly is. I added text-to-speech to try to show how everyone can sound the same when mediated through a technological medium. Though we are connected in some on twitter we are also disembodied and discarnate (discarnate: the opposite of incarnate which means “in the flesh”). Eventually, we have to turn it off and be present with people.
