Much like the [Little Printer](http://prote.in/feed/2011/11/little-printer?ref=protein.xyz) we featured last year, this new project from [Sean Hathaway](http://vimeo.com/mupeg?ref=protein.xyz) takes Twitter's constant stream of information and reinterprets it into something else.

'Volume and Noise' sees tweets fed through a text-to-speech program and read out in real time. Mimicking the style of a 40's wireless radio, if it weren't for the repeated mentions of hashtags and Kim Kardashian you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a genuine pre-war era broadcast. With the ability set the TPM (tweets per minute), the user is able to switch between sporadic update, an indecipherable babble and anywhere in between.

Like [Projecteo](http://prote.in/feed/2012/11/projecteo?ref=protein.xyz), it's another interesting project which re-interprets a digital behaviour with an element of nostalgia. Check out the video above for more info.
