Twyping = tweeting + typing. Imagine if twitter had existed when people used typewriters instead of computers. Twyping is a participatory work that blends old technology with new, examining the past through the lens of the present. Your paper tweets may not seem cutting-edge, but as a lasting, physical record of your thoughts they are somehow more ‘real’ than mere ephemeral words on a sterile screen. A selection of the best twypes will be displayed daily on the Twyping display boards and the LED Screen in the Perth Cultural Centre. Each day a Twyping Question of the Day will be offered as a challenge to all twypists.
