Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman use publically available GPS information embedded in Twitter’s geolocation software to randomly select, travel to, and photograph the precise locations where Twitter users have posted tweets.

As you read the text and look at the photograph, consider the effect of environment upon thought, speech, and online identity. Who are these anonymous Twitter users, and why were they struck by those particular thoughts in those exact places?
