GUILT AND SELF-LACERATION ARE INDULGENCES
SELF-AWARENESS CAN BE CRIPPLING
SYMBOLS ARE MORE MEANINGFUL THAN THINGS THEMSELVES
These are truisms by Jenny Holzer. I was introduced to Holzer and her prolific works through my friend and fellow Android hacker Ari’s post from last month. Lydia Laurenson, writing at http://lydialaurenson.com/abstraction-is-a-type-of-decaden…/ got me intrigued enough to build this:
https://twitter.com/HOLZERTRON (follow it!)
I wanted:
- to see these on my twitter feed
- to contribute to Holzer’s ongoing mission to display her texts in public space
- to build shit with Scala+akka actors
So I did. Repo here (PRs welcome!): https://github.com/aphexcx/holzer-twitter
