Blue Skies

This art piece uses fragments of posts on the social media network Bluesky to recreate sentences spoken by the user using only excerpts from actual Bluesky posts which have been created since the user began speaking. By querying for posts on the public Bluesky API, the user can create something that is collaborative with thousands of random people from around the world, as well as being something grounded in the exact moment of the interaction, making something unique to the time, space, and social context of each second the piece is active for. All this is be represented using posts flowing by a blue background like clouds rolling against a blue sky.

Microphone needs to be on for this to work. It may only work reliability on Chrome (and other Chromium broswers).

This was created for CS 383 at the University of Waterloo.
