103 characters and her followers would have had an update of exactly what Anne Frank was thinking. The inner life of this girl, as recorded in her diary, has inspired many an artist, author, movie director, painter, and writer to contemplate their own.
Irish stencil Street Artist Vango has just imagined Anne Frank as she might be today – sending her personal thoughts and observations, status updates. It’s a tricky minefield of human history to tread for an artist and the implications of a wireless data stream available to all are still being assessed by contemporary culture.

What parallels exist today, and what has been fundamentally changed by our creation?

Vango: It’s there for everyone to see, like it or not. It demands to be noticed and as you can tell it’s succeeding.

I think that ‘s important because nobody seems to have time anymore. If you have a job and a favorite TV show, your day is spent.
