  2. Real Human Praise

    This bot draws snippets of positive reviews from Rotten Tomatoes (a film and TV review aggregator), changes the director or producer’s name to a Fox News anchor or personality, and tweets it every two minutes. This Twitter account and bot were produced by The Colbert Report as a response to the news that Fox News publicists had thousands of fake social media accounts to try to spin any postings or comments against their news channel. By recontextualizing praise for film and television performances, narrative, and directorial style, as well as adding the #PraiseFOX hashtag, this overwhelmingly frequent, positive praise comes across as ironic and absurd. Its output also serves as a kind of subtweet because whenever anyone searches for one of the Fox News personalities on Twitter they’re likely to get many “Real Human Praise.” Following this bot may prove to be too much for readers because its frequent endless tweeting will certainly accelerate the current in your Twitter stream.

  3. The Way Bot

    The Way Bot scrapes Twitter for tweets that contain the phrase “I like it when.” After removing all the hashtags, special characters, and identifying material, the bot confirms that it has not encountered the expression before and then stores the statement in a database in order to tweet a fresh comment every few minutes. By removing specific markers of identity and filtering hateful or offensive language, what comes through is a more basic (and generally positive) expression of human feeling. The generative engine for The Way Bot was originally created to harvest a large amount of sentences starting with “the way that” and assemble them into the 99-page novel, The Way That I’m Crying so Hard I Have to Gasp For Air, by Eli Brody and 5,134 friends, a work submitted to NaNoGenMo (National Novel Generation Month) in 2013. Whereas reading the litany of statements out loud emphasizes The Way Bot's anaphoric poetics, embedding this account within a user's Twitter stream produces a lyrical refrain, a musical chorus that endlessly transmits a beacon of humanity’s collective unconscious.

  5. Foursqare Tales

    I use foursquare a lot, I'm a nerd and a fan of stats. I'm also a big fan of the notes people leave behind. Little hints for the new adventurer, or warnings to the unwary: 'Beware the burgers lest you suffer the consequences.'

    I started to imagine these notes weren't just tips on the dining. I started to imagine people leaving little chunks of a story.  Then you would have to explore the city to find the rest and piece them together yourself. A treasure hunt with words. Hell, since you're going for a walk, why not add in some music for atmosphere? I wanted to live in a world where useless fun things like this exist, so I started doing it myself.

    Ideally this is something that people would just discover. A wee surprise for some techie person, and a decent writing exercise for me. The more I've added my own stories though, the more I wish there were others doing it. I live in Glasgow so it's local for now, but I'd love stories from all over the world to be added. Little personal guided tours. A foursquare tale would be a great way to be introduced to a new city.

  6. La tierra nunca comprenderá

    Organizado en formato de múltiples entradas de un blog, la trama de la obra sigue el viaje de la protagonista, Belén Gache, en un mundo ficticio que ha sido dominado por dictaduras semióticas. En este entorno de opresión lingüística, Gache se rebela a través de su búsqueda del entendimiento de la poesía, su significado y su relación con la tecnología. A través de la alianza de Gache con otros rebeldes semióticos, sus desafíos contra los falsificadores de palabras y su deseo de revelar la verdad sobre la poesía del robot semiautónomo, AI-Halim, la autora propone un análisis de la relación entre inteligencia humana, inteligencia artificial y poesía.
