I wanted to share this one with everybody, it’s my final project for my New Media Storytelling class at the Media Lab. This is a Twitter visualizer built using Quartz Composer that takes multiple users and […]

Try dragging the mouse around to better direct the madness. You can clear everything by pressing any key. […]
