Since it pulls data from both Flickr and Twitter, it is naturally suited to being posted online.

The work basically plays around with the idea of the association that we form between words and images. Putting words next to an image can suddenly shift the meaning of the image, since meaning in an image is quite subjective in a lot of ways. My idea was to create something that is constantly changing according to the data that it can gather. It is by no means some form of AI application. Quite the opposite. The application itself is really quite simple.
