Twitter has become the predominant media stream for cultural, current affairs and personal information. By limiting each comment to 140 characters individual tweets contain both an immediacy of response and clarity of sentiment. Twitter has become a public conversation about our daily activities, opinions and feelings, an immutable stream of a collective conscious.

Chatter is a mixed media sculpture and audio piece that explores our relationship with data, information and privacy. By disrupting the intangible nature of the electronic conversation Chatter aims to encourage viewers to confront the nature of online communication and the materiality of the uttered word. In creating the dual representations of audio and print, the piece aims to highlight the duality of the digital world, which is at once transient and enduring.
