URWUT = You Are What You Tweet. This is a project where small multi media pieces are created inspired by people’s tweets. Each piece works to encompass the mood, feeling, meaning, or moment captured by the individual tweet.
Each piece’s approx. runtime is determined by the length of the tweet. Since twitter enforces a 140 character limit, the pieces are rooted in brevity. This tweet was 52 characters, so the video runs approx. 52 seconds.

As part of a conversation, this at-reply is intended to only be clear for the recipient. Reading it is like only hearing one half of a telephone conversation. It is shrouded in mystery and the implication of events long past; like sharing an inside joke or long kept secret between two close friends. I wanted the layers in the video to represent this dreamlike memory…foggy yet clear enough to ascertain the hint of something much deeper.
