Twit-ear

The Twittears are two ears that hang around Digit’s studio, one in the kitchen and one in the meeting room. The ear’s pick up sound levels and when the volume of the space dramatically changes the ears tell people about it via twitter. A bit of a satire on individuals constantly twittering. This project looks at the idea of automating updates so you no longer have to say what you are doing and instead it is the space that listens and makes updates for you.
