‘The Political Reporter’ is a new media installation by Boone, NC-based artist Mark Nystrom that generates random, but intriguing statements with words found on political websites and in the media. Sources include the Obama and Romney presidential campaigns, the Democratic and Republican parties, bloggers and the news media.
‘The Political Reporter’ animates a cloud of letters and periodically makes statements. These images are screen grabs taken while ‘The Political Reporter’ was running on Election Day and the day after.
Letters from words gathered from conservative sources are colored red and ones from liberal sources are blue. ‘The Political Reporter’s’ vocabulary includes over 70,000 words, but only 300 appear on the screen at any given time. As words are used to make statements, they are replaced by randomly chosen new ones from the list of 70,000.
MADRID, SPAIN - FEBRUARY 21: Half a thousand tractors and at least 100 buses arrived in Madrid to join the farmers' protests that are now two weeks old. Coming from several cities in the interior of the country, hundreds of farmers with their respective tractors arrived in the Spanish capital with the intention of standing in front of the Ministry of Agriculture on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, in Madrid (Spain). The unrest in the Spanish countryside, which for weeks has materialized with 'tractors raids' in the vast majority of Spanish cities, has reached Madrid. This Wednesday, at least 500 tractors, distributed in five columns and accompanied by about a hundred buses full of farmers, arrived in the capital with the aim of demonstrating in front of the Ministry of Agriculture. The tractors arrived from the surroundings of the capital to concentrate in a coordinated manner at the Puerta de Alcala (first point) from Torrejon de la Calzada, Arganda del Rey, Robregordo, El Espinar (Segovia) and Guadalajara. Spanish farmers and ranchers are protesting the crisis in the sector and the agricultural policies of the European Union, the Government and the Autonomous Communities. They maintain that their situation is extreme, which is why they demand urgent and coordinated action by the administrations. The demands of farmers are aligned with those of the European agricultural sector, seeking less bureaucracy, greater price control and stricter surveillance of exports. This protest in Madrid follows similar actions carried out in other Spanish regions, such as the 'tractors radis' in the ports of Tarragona, Mercabarna and Girona, as well as the entry of around 1,250 tractors into Barcelona on February 7. According to the Union of Unions, the organization that organized the protest, of the 1,500 tractors that have been mobilized, only 500 have been able to access the capital and only 70 have reached the doors of the ministry.

MADRID, ESPAÑA - FEBRERO 21: Medio millar de tractores y por lo menos 100 autobuses llegaron a Madrid para unirse a las protestas de los agricultores que cumplen ya dos semanas. Provenientes de varias ciudades del interior del País, cientos de agricultores con sus respectivos tractores arribaron a la capital española con la intención de plantarse frente al ministerio de Agricultura, hoy, miércoles 21 de febrero de 2024, en Madrid (España). El malestar en el campo español, que durante semanas se ha materializado con 'tractoradas' en la gran mayoría de las ciudades de España llegó a Madrid. Este miércoles, al menos 500 tractores, distribuidos en cinco columnas y acompañados por unos cien autobuses llenos de agricultores, llegaron a la capital con el objetivo de manifestarse frente al ministerio de Agricultura. Los tractores arribaron de los alrededores de la capital para concentrarse de manera coordinada a la Puerta de Alcalá (primer punto) desde Torrejón de la Calzada, Arganda del Rey, Robregordo, El Espinar (Segovia) y Guadalajara. Los agricultores y ganaderos españoles protestan por la crisis del sector y por las políticas agrarias de la Unión Europea, del Gobierno y de las Comunidades Autónomas. Sostienen que su situación es límite, por lo que exigen una acción urgente y coordinada por parte de las administraciones. Las demandas de los agricultores están alineadas con las del sector agrario europeo, buscando menos burocracia, un mayor control de precios y una vigilancia más estricta de las exportaciones. Esta protesta en Madrid sigue a acciones similares llevadas a cabo en otras regiones españolas, como las 'tractoradas' en el puerto de Tarragona, Mercabarna y Girona, así como la entrada de cerca de 1.250 tractores en Barcelona el pasado 7 de febrero. Según la Unión de Uniones, organización convocante de la protesta, de los 1.500 tractores que se han movilizado solo han podido acceder a la capital 500 y apenas 70 han llegado a las puertas del ministerio.
