Twitter Data Table


Created in collaboration with onedotzero, the piece is a programmed robotics sculpture that visualises data driven narratives for Twitter at Cannes Lions Festival 2015.


Twitter commissioned onedotzero to create a table that visualizes key Twitter campaigns from the past year. Debuting at the Tweet Suite at Cannes Lions 2015, the work weighs in at a hefty 500kg and features 204 electromagnets, 3000 ball bearings, and 25 layers of CNC cut timber, pulled together by a team of 20 craftsmen over six weeks. The Twitter Data Visualisation table combines a mix of skills, tools and processes including robotics, engineering, electromagnetism, CNC, carpentry, code and data visualisation.
