Art, Data and Building Trees from Texts: Tracing The Roots of (x)Tree

Agnes Chavez is a multi-disciplinary artist exploring data visualization and video mapping through her project (x)Tree, which uses algorithms to create a tree-like image from Twitter, SMS messages, and added phrases on the topic of saving trees. The interactive exhibit allows users to send SMS and alter the shape and growth of the tree, promoting inclusivity and participation. With Twilio's SMS functionality, Agnes aims to engage people worldwide in the project, leaving a lasting impression with its purpose-driven art.
