V. && ARTWARE RSS projects by Jake Elliott

a. "i know, LOL!"






in Chicago, during the last daze of 2008 && the 1rst daze of 2009, Jake Elliott + Nicholas O'Brien created a short-lived Twitter Art project/account called "i know, LOL" was an account by the same name which was based on the Twitter API + listened for ppl saying "LOL" + then automatically replied to those Twitter users, saying "i know, LOL!"

these events include:
