1.

Ji­ayi & Shih-Wen Young : Present­ly Un­ti­tled
Data Map­ping of 2016 US Pres­i­den­tial Elec­tion Twit­ter Ac­tiv­i­ty
at Pence Gallery, Davis, Cal­i­for­nia

‘This project trans­forms the 2016 Unit­ed States Pres­i­den­tial Elec­tion Twit­ter data into a large-scale in­stal­la­tion to probe the ques­tion of how so­cial me­dia as­sumes form and dom­i­nates the shap­ing of the fu­ture of a na­tion. The in­stal­la­tion re­counts Twit­ter ac­tiv­i­ties of tweets, retweets, and replies us­ing hash­tags in sup­port of Don­ald Trump’s pres­i­den­tial can­di­da­cy from Feb­ru­ary 2016 through the elec­tion on No­vem­ber 8, 2016. By ar­tic­u­lat­ing ma­jor Twit­ter in­flu­encers in this pe­ri­od, un­cov­er­ing prop­a­ga­tion pat­terns in the data, and dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing hu­man tweets from AI [ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence] tweets, the in­stal­la­tion ex­pos­es the in­ner mech­a­nisms of a world where true hu­man tweets and tweets gen­er­at­ed by Twit­ter Bots mu­tu­al­ly in­flu­ence each oth­er and prop­a­gate in­sep­a­ra­bly as a com­bined voice. The in­stal­la­tion al­lows the ex­am­i­na­tion of the ma­chine world in­fil­tra­tion that shift­ed the gen­er­a­tive en­trop­ic prop­a­ga­tion of so­cial me­dia in­flu­ence on this U.S. elec­tion, and pro­vides a phys­i­cal space for con­tem­plat­ing the sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges so­cial me­dia pos­es in our un­der­stand­ing of the so­cial fab­ric and the rad­i­cal trans­for­ma­tion of the ways in which we now re­late to each oth­er.’

Ex­hib­it will be on dis­play thru 30 March 2017
