public text box
computer and stand
2012
A computer reduced to a single function, to recieve text and send that text to a public twitter feed on the internet. Currently the dominant paradigm of digital information sharing is based around personal devices. We each usually own our cell phones or computers and even if we are using shared machines, we have our own individual accounts. What if instead of owning our device or the publishing account, that ownership was transfered to a shared device in a fixed location? Would this help us to collaborate more? Does adding memory to a physical space increase collaborative impulses?
