The video runs continuously, showing a screen "walking" across three separate landscapes. As the screen walks, it reveals text from real-time Twitter tweets. The tweets are live, ongoing, non-repetitive, and posted by any source in the world. The content of each tweet is streamlined by pre-selected hashtags (countries, cities, epicenters, time zones, etc.). Tweets change every three minutes at random.
The piece comments on overall behaviors of ourselves amidst the torrent of information we’re connected to and try to follow; The difficultly to disengage from the 24/7 always-on news cycle, how it can be cryptic or pithy from our sources, and our social media (Twitter specifically) as an imperfect information conduit and integral element of the art.
This piece is connected to real time data when running. Here I'm showing documentation of the live piece.

A single-channel, data-driven video, incorporating code and Twitter with moving image sequences. The sequences, originally shot in Iceland, are digitally manipulated with layering and special effects, then run through a custom program connecting to Twitter. The program runs self-contained on a small computer, and the video is displayed single-channel on a monitor.
Emergenc/y Stacks is technically a second part to Emergenc/y. Usually displayed separately, Stacks contains one moving image, digitally manipulated with layering and special effects, and links to Twitter. This shows a screen walking across a landscape, horizontally stacking up to eventually reveal full Tweets.
