It’s just three steps: 1. Start with the chorus of a famous song. 2. Compress the lyrics to only 132 characters. 3. Add the tag “#chorus” and tweet it on Twitter. For example, here is the ultra-compressed chorus to David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?”

Yes, 132 characters and not 140 because you will need the remaining 8 slots to add a space and the “#chorus” tag at the end. Good luck deciphering.

Yesterday the Terre Natale exhibition closed to a round of congratulatory applause at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. Cartier curator Ilana Shamoon informed us that the show welcomed over 80,000 visitors during its four month run, certifying it as one of their most successful exhibitions to date. Much gratitude to all attendees, collaborators, and the Fondation Cartier.
Again, warm regards to our fellow Digital Team members who spent countless hours conceptualizing, visualizing, growing, shaping, and pruning source code on very little sleep. Bobby Pietrusko’s early sketches proved incredibly prolific and his space-time functions ran the heart of our Bronson animation framework. Aaron Meyers taught us OpenGL and was the magic behind the camera movements in the Refugees narrative. Michael Doherty brought the Disasters animation to life and put in a good deal of sweat in the Bushwick mockup space.
Cheers to the intersection of code and art. View images and a description of Terre Natale at http://stewdio.org/work/terrenatale/.
