1. Debasheesh Parveen and Ariadna Alfil

   These two “Facebots” (Facebook bots) were created in the last days of 2009 and quickly began to make friends, post images, and make cryptic status updates, commenting on each other’s updates. They started a relationship on January 13, 2010 and got married (that is, changed their relationship status to “married” on Facebook) on March 21, 2010. Ever since they have both been making status updates automatically every hour, (Ariadna every 2 hours) using the algorithm described below:

   Debasheesh Parveen is one of the 99 Sacred Names of the Internet. It is also an algorithm:

   1. Debasheesh Parveen takes a random news headline from the Al Jazeera feed.
   2. The headline is distorted using a text-manipulation algorithm.
   3. One of the words of the headline is chosen to search for an image on the Internet.
   4. The headline and the image are posted to Debasheesh Parveen’s Facebook profile.

   This happens automatically, at regular intervals.

2. @Darius_at_GDC

   This bot is a stand-in for Kazemi at the Game Developer’s Conference happening at the time of this posting in San Francisco, because he will not be able to attend for the first time in 10 years. So instead of pining away on Twitter as #GDC tweets flood his stream, he created a bot so his friends could have the pleasure of his company in their own streams, which as we know, is almost as good as his being there.

3. @tonightiate

   This bot generate short template based sentences and publish them on Twitter every 10 minutes. With them Schneider demonstrates some of the versatility of the same kind of device when applied to different topics. The bot “@tonightiate,” uses a relatively simple template that produces an obsessive litany of consumption. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

4. @MassageMcLuhan

   Schneider’s artist’s statement, offers the source code in addition to this description. I created @massagemcluhan, a bot that would “massage” McLuhan’s quotes—work them over completely, as McLuhan would say. I’ve noticed McLuhan’s penchant for reworking and revisiting phrases (“the medium is the message” and “the medium is the massage” being the most famous), and thought it would be interesting to rework some of these phrases by substituting various nouns into them.
