About the Project
Twitter has greatly expanded the definition of public space, providing a rich environment where—140 characters at a time—revolutions are organized, the banalities of everyday life are shared, and artists create site-specific interventions. Creative Time Tweets, a series of three commissioned Twitter performances, explored the medium as a viable place for art that engages audiences, promotes dialogue, and intersects with the physical world. Using Twitter as both an artistic tool and a site for public performance, Man Bartlett, David Horvitz, and Jill Magid carried out projects in collaboration with their audiences that unfolded as Twitter streams.
