"Poli- want a cracker?" art + tech project. A Twitter feed tracker that tracks the hashtags #trump and #feelthebern. Every time a tweet is made for either, a voice says "trump" or "feel the bern". People actually post more Trump-related tweets, so you don't hear "feel the bern" that often. The potentiometer (the swivel) changes the "trump" tweets voice to variations of inconceivable, which makes the "feel the burn" tweet voice stand out, and it also can be changed using the blue knob. Screen logs the live tweets and is powered by Raspberry Pi. The voices are controlled by Arduino Uno. Firmata/Johnny-Five/Twitter API/JavaScript. IOT.
