Commissioned by BRIGHT for Twitter France, Doris Le Bot creates unique digital creatures from real-time tweets, born from various properties of the users' Twitter profile.

During ab event in Paris on the 27th January 2015, people could tweet @dorislebot and watch as their digital creature appeared on screen, swimming with other creatures. The shape of each creature was generated from their unique user ID using a Superformula algorithm. The amount of favourites in their Twitter profile acted like food, governing their size.

Colours were mapped to how many years they had been on Twitter, whilst Power Users were given multiple coloured special stripes. Curious users - those that were following more than they had followers had various size antennae with their eye sizes dictated by this ratio. Users with more than 5000 followers were also given special jagged tails to differentiate themselves amongst the others creatures.

Trending seeds are the most popular tweets from October 2017 through March 2018.

While media outlets generated significant awareness on Twitter regarding the issue, the hashtag #MeToo has allowed both celebrities and regular people to share their personal feelings and experiences - using social media as a platform for open discussion.

Planted seeds and growing shoots

Activist Tarana Burke started the MeToo Movement over ten years ago. It gained momentum in October 2017 when celebrity Alyssa Milano's viral tweet encouraged victims of sexual assault and harassment to speak out. Tens of thousands of people replied to the message.

The torrent of personal stories shows the magnitude of everyday sexism and sexual misconduct. "MeToo became a hashtag, a movement, a reckoning. But it began, as great social change nearly always does, with individual acts of courage." TIME's editor on why The Silence Breakers were Person of the Year 2017.

Offshoots

Other hashtags and initiatives grow. On the 1st of January, 300 women came together to sign a powerful letter that originated the Time's Up Movement to fight systemic sexual harassment.

New seeds disperse: from the web to the streets

Hundreds of thousands of women around the world take to the streets for the 2018 Women's March; one year after the event was first held in opposition to newly elected US President Donald Trump. Without the sky-high social media engagement of MeToo, would the march have been possible on such a scale?

And a movement blossoms around the world

March 8th marked International Women's Day, but either 2017 and 2018 could be called the year of women. MeToo may have started in North America but it spread quickly around the globe, empowering survivors and advocates to bridge geographical distances.

The people who have broken their silence span all races, all professions and virtually every corner of the globe. It offers hope that unheard voices can help bring about institutional and cultural change.
