Abstract
The river is everywhere at once, is a net-art work that generates animated topographical compositions and sounds derived from the text in tweets that include the keyword landscape. The Twitter tweet refers to a point in time that takes on a new form and meaning when viewed in different contexts. When seen in this way, a tweet contributes to an expanded sense of place as a composite of space and time, network and process, or in Michel Serres’s terms, a topology. The emergence of new topologies and their connotations in a tweet’s re-translation in new contexts is revealed in the asynchronous, overlapping, and cyclical flow of our connections in different networks. The net-art work “The river is everywhere at once” references how tweets move us to a point in time quickly made composite, ambiguous, and unanticipated through the ever-changing nature of our relations in a network.
