Giant Printer Paints Political Twitter Tweets on Streets [VIDEO]

[brightcove video="1644446261001" /]

A giant printer is painting 40-character life-size tweets about world hunger and poverty across roadways -- it's all part of the ONE Street Tweet campaign.

The street-tweeting campaign launched on Wednesday. The advocacy group ONE started the machine's engines in Maryland and will continue printing tweets for two days until May 18. People in more than 34 countries have contributed tweets so far. The ONE team wants the leaders at G8's 3rd Annual Symposium on Global Agriculture and Food Security to take notice.

"Remember — the whole goal of this action is to take your messages to the G8 on global agriculture to the streets — literally," the advocacy group wrote in a blog post.

ONE is looking for about 1,000 more tweets. Shortened messages are selected from tweets sent to the @ONEStreetTweet account. Even politicians are submitting their own G8-themed tweets.
