Screen Capture of a collage in progress.

Each collage takes anywhere from 2-5 minutes to construct and then dissolve.  It is never the same, and no object or record is created.  Input from Twitter, including specific hashtags are the source and the basis by which the program searches for related images and text.   Live Collage analyzes tweets for parts of speech, and then collects associated and tagged images and textual shorts from online sources. Image transformations, transparency level, color, size, effects, and placement is randomized.
