Popestream

Surfing through social media, I came across the link saying: “papal elections are close to its end and soon the world will have the new pope”. Upcoming breaking news of the day touched me, and while waiting for the Champions League matchday, I decided to follow the event. Of course Twitter stream is the best, so I looked for #pope and soon after, was literally flooded with different sorts of information about the pope and his election. It drew me to the idea that current pope - Francis, is the first, so to say, social media discovered, attended and openly discussed pope, as by Benedict XVI elections not Twitter nor Facebook weren't existing. St. Peter's square moved to and emancipated itself in the cyber reality. Keeping in mind examples from the video art inventors, I decided to record the feed of the new pope's arrival, to emphasize some interesting tweets, and more or less to write alternative, social biography of Francis and how he was taken by the worldwide society.
