This group created a skateboard that is made out of a keyboard. I choose this because it relates to my work where I am also using a keyboard in my art. I liked this because it is interactive for the viewers and its also a commentary about how people can post anything on the internet and how half of it is gibberish. When the viewer rides the skateboard anything his foot touches will be posted to the twitter account. Below is a quote that I found the most interesting about the piece.
"Twitter presents itself as the ultimate live feed: your life, updated. Tweets are meant to be, or at least seem, more persistent in their impulsiveness and indexicality than more traditional forms of writing. SK8Monkeys on Twitter (2009/2012) takes Twitter's self-presentation and skewers it by rearranging the terms involved. The SK8Monkey account, determined by the patterns of feet on a keyboard, becomes not a record of stray thoughts but stray actions; not an index of consciousness moving through the world but of the body in time."
