Botku - Daily Meditations

Features Botku - Daily Meditations

The app uses a Twitterbot which searches for tweets on the theme of 'The New Aesthetic'.
These have been re-worked into Haiku poetry, to provide a daily meditative aid to contemplation on the ways in which technology is infiltrating the physical world and effecting human ways of seeing.
The app also generates a kaleidoscopic pattern which is generated by visualising data from the Twitter-feed.
For hundreds of years haiku poetry has captured fleeting moments in time to provide a text for meditative reflection.
Now, this Twitterbot generated app helps to do the same for the modern world, by capturing the Twitter feed and generating a text and pattern for your contemplation.
As we once listened to nature, let us now listen to machines for them to reveal to us their true nature, and ours.
Poems are generated daily as a source for reflection on the impact technology is having on our daily lives.

Simply press and hold the button to read the haiku and generate a pattern.
