My friend Kyle has a built an app the tweets every 140 charters he types twitter.com/keytweeter. I thought this was interesting so I built an app to pull his twitter down and visualize the most popular key. Unfortunately twitter only allows you to go 3200 tweets back via paging. So the picture about is Kyle’s last 3200 tweets. Looks like E is the popular letter. I could have just wikied it but this was much more fun.

keyTweeter Numbers
I just ran the app on just numbers interesting results. Its very linear with zero being the most popular.

Short Grass
Long Grass
Here are some first grass attempts for a piece I’m working on. There are 4,096 blades of grass with about 15 circular segments per blade. The are built with VBO’s running at about 50fps. I would love to get a few more FPS with some optimization.

Evan currently has an exhibit, Graffiti Taxonomy at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. "Graffiti Taxonomy is a graffiti-based study in which characters are isolated from a collection of graffiti tags that were photographed in the same geographic region." I built a tag visualizer for all of the graffiti photos taken for the study. The visualizer show the relationships between the letters within the tags. You can investigate the letter down to its location in the original photograph. The project was a blast to work on. The exhibit looks amazing, congratulations Evan!
