*glisten) HIVE  is a project that aggregates, visualizes and sonifies Twitter communications about animals. The project offers textual representations of empathy, as a form of ecological relating. The Tweets selected for the project are mapped into the installation as animated text mimicking social-insect swarming patterns. The animations are created using Max/MSP software that allow for regular Tweet updates to the swarms' non-repeating organically moving patterns. Visitors can contribute Tweets to the swarm via mobile devices. The soundscape is produced using granular synthesis and generative techniques to create a soundscape of many voices.

A take on the state of popular culture, this pop-up book followed the tweets of Sarah Silverman on the topic of balls. It aimed to present the instant, ephemeral world of Twitter in the world of print, using one of the most time-consuming and precise methods of bookmaking - the pop-up book. It used dainty, feminine imagery ironically to present Silverman's vulgar, crude tweets.
