Tools to access streaming vectors maps and data sources such as Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps, GeoData, StockMarket

 

...and a bunch of other stuff


Mosquito is a plugin suite developed for Rhino and Grasshopper. The plugin allows us to tap into social , financial and popular media. Extracting location, profiles, images and messages from Facebook,Twitter, Topsy etc….

As architects part of our responsibility is the consideration of the public realm. Today however , people tend to hang in the digital equivalent, namely, social media space. While this space becomes ever more permanent, the physical realm is fleeting, an evanescent space.

We are utilizing the tools in this component suite to bridge the gap between geometrics and information. Driving geometry with data and vice-versa. The ability to extract user Geo-coordinates, language, thoughts, profile and image enables architects to paint a picture. It is this  4-dimensional picture, which we refer to as “spatial condition”, that allows us to explore what happened yesterday, now and hypothesize about tomorrow. True 4-dimensional modeling.

    I am really interested in a Mac Version of Mosquito. I am searching for a way to import mp3 files into grasshopper and generating 3D geometry

    @Carson, hello!

    First of all, many thanks for your work and for sharing Mosquito.

    I have just installed it as I would like to explore the social media components: however, I get the 'unauthorized' server error on both Twitter components (the Flickr one works fine).

    I am on a personal computer, so there shouldn't be any firewall issues.

    Sorry to bother, but could you please let me know if this is happening on my side only or if something like Twitter API has indeed changed?

    Thank you and have a great rest of the week.

    Marco
