Twitter Bedroom Monitor

BEDROOM OBSERVED – Twitter Account

 

A twitter account which uploads an image of my bedroom to flickr any time anyone tweets the word ‘bedroom.’ The link to my flickr stream is then tweeted at the person who’s tweet (‘bedroom’) sparked the process. The picture is labeled with the name of the twitter user and content of the tweet.

I am interested in the way that media such as twitter shift notions of personal space and privacy. I am also interested in the idea of taking a word, which exists initially in an autonomous zone (the context of the original tweet), and shifting the context to force an interaction between the otherwise disparate elements (myself, other people tweeting the same word, etc).

First Twitter Account (Claiirreeeee)

 

Responses, before the accounts were suspended:

I did attempt to alleviate some of people’s concern by declaring my intentions. I was hoping, after the initial suspension, that this would give me a broader window of time and maybe allow my system to continue to function.
Sadly, the opposite was true. The Claiirreeeee account ran the program for 2.5 hours before suspension. BedroomObserved was banned in 15 minutes.
