Gulfed Century’s Contour on Twitter

In tandem with my shop window installations for the Ministry of Casual Living, I am posting on Twitter during the exhibition period (Feb 17- March 1st, 2012). These posts are a statement in the form of a poem divided into two and four-line stanzas, which can be viewed as floating fragments on a board of feeds from various sources, offering each reader the opportunity to interpret their place in their data flow differently, and affording the poem a parasitic existence in the transient interface offered by Twitter. In this way I hope to parallel the opaque character of window installations with figurative language. Please feel free to circulate separate fragments as isolated Tweets.
