Multiverse on 14th

Created in collaboration with Katie Capps-Parlante.
Heading downtown to run some errands
Hoping for druid love
Just noticed I have surprisingly hairy arms
Multiverse on 14th is 3 poems celebrating 14th Street that are programmatically constructed from the live, public Twitter feed.

You can experience Multiverse on 14th on the web at: http://multiverse.caketoo.us

An act of incidental collaboration, each line is from a different author: musing, observing, ranting, and disclosing mundane, unexpected and momentous details of their lives to the public at large.

The poems were projected into the little fountain on the Southwest corner of Union Square Park over three consecutive evenings, transforming the fountain into a temporary well of private thoughts.
