Mosquito

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.

Twitter plugin error

It has come to my attention that the twitter plugin was not working.

If you were getting the following error: "Solution exception:The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send."

Please re-download and install Mosquito and try again.

Thanks

    Hi Carson.

    I downloaded the  Mosquito folder and replaced the components on the grasshopper component folder. I Still get the error: "Solution exception:The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send."

    Should I uninstall the mosquito version I had installed first? Is so… what is the best way to do it?
