BakerTweet gallery display
Published:
A scrolling marquee in the gallery, fed by the bakers downstairs.
BakerTweet, designed by Poke, is a metal box with a dial, a button, and a small screen. A baker turns the dial to whatever just came out of the oven and presses the button, and the device posts it. One was installed in MoMA’s Cafe 2 for the run of the show, posting as @MoMABakerTweet.
I polled the RSS feed the work generated and displayed it in the gallery as a scrolling marquee, so each fresh batch was announced upstairs as it happened.
Shown in Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects, July 24 – November 7, 2011, organized by Paola Antonelli with Kate Carmody.
