A2 statement 2
Statement: In my second study, my group and I aimed high with quite a difficult job of making a fluent Donald Trump censored twitter feed, that captured live tweets by trump and censored out a series of his words to make the tweets more pleasant. The theme in this study was to eliminate the controversy of his texts. Whilst developing the study, it became apparent that we were creating something that wasn’t fully tactile, as the computer was doing most of the work by capturing the live tweets and reformulating them. At this point in time, it was too late to change ideas so we had to create a tactile interaction by having the ability to press a button for the programming to then go ahead and capture the tweets. It would have been ideal to have more of an interaction between the art and the user. I would like to revisit this study later on In the semester and create a greater interaction with it, for example, being able to type in certain words live that you would like to censor and then have related tweets pop up and have those words censored. This would evidentially create a greater interaction with the study, instead of just having pressed a single button. There were many challenges that we faced in this study, including a range that had to be done outside of the program to capture the tweets. Credit to team member Ziggy who was exceptional at bringing together the most part of this study. On a personal level, this study definitely pushed my abilities with the program, however gave me a good insight to the things it is capable of.
