Abstract

TweetGarden is an interactive art installation using web/social art and public interactivity. Participants respond to a curated hashtag and take part in growing a virtual garden LIVE. The use of this visual space is beyond boundaries of any kind. It can be national, transnational, a debate, a dialogue, a narrative, interdisciplinary, knowledge sharing in a space of transference or a truly open network that can be customized to a certain truth…the seeker and the platform are truly interdependent to the growth of a digital Artwork that interacts. It can also serve as a collection, a documentation of ideas and a critical thinking space that is multi modal and multi linguistic in essence.
