However this thought suddenly struck me but this artwork by Paul Klee in 1922 came to mind as somehow embodying the future essence of the platform Twitter. The image in itself of course is what counts here, but to add its title is Die Zwitscher-Maschine or The Twittering Machine - and so now it mightn’t be too far-fetched to say we are in the realms of the prophetic.
Obviously sane people can hypothetically use Twitter, but still, if distilled to its true essence, and those genuinely not of this essence removed, purged, remove themselves, whatever, then said essence is perfectly embodied by Klee’s playful but yet perhaps ... emm ... somewhat terrifying image.
