Twitterscapes are the original twitter data art form, conceived and authored by New Mexico Artist and Web Developer Caroline C. Blaker (.carolinecblaker.). Follow her: @carolinecblaker.
Every 10 minutes, a script pulls the public data feed in the Twitter API and processes it character for character against the profile colors chosen by the author of the tweet, producing the Twitterscape image.
The concept behind Twitterscapes are that they belong to a genre that takes snapshots of Twitter. Like old photographs, Twitterscapes remove all context and known motivation from the 20 random tweets on the public timeline. Instead, they offer a mottled selection of the user's profile colors where the characters of each tweet once where, leaving behind the an anonymous gesture of the user's entire twitter presence in the place of their one tweet.
