This project is a tangible representation of my social network literally depicting terms associated with social media on the Internet: tie threads of friendship, knit together relationships, and use tags.
These thousands of labels are evidence of many pleasant moments spent with friends around a cup of tea. These friends also took part in collecting labels for this project, creating a snowball effect which is typical of a social network.
As with social media, this project is a snapshot view. It does not have archives or a final version as it will be constantly updated.
