Platform + Scaling

In this module, exploring paradigms for interaction, navigation, conversation; considering different paradigms for authoring / writing (interactive) characters.

Scaling to consider also scales of time.

Part I: Conversational interfaces

Douglas Englebart: Mother of all demos
Daughter of all demos, Saskia Aldinger https://vimeo.com/40683500
Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, (Samsung means to come)[1]
Donald Rodney, AUTOICON (CD-ROM)
A Conversation with Eliza
The Eliza Effect
Weizenbaum clip (Plug and Pray? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB5oZcsAJm8)
Videodrome, Professor Oblivion, dir. David Cronenberg, 1983
Put that there, Architecture Machine Group, MIT, 1981
Image interrogation, Blade Runner dir. Ridley Scott, 1982
Antonio Roberts, Electic Voice Phenomenon
Apple: Knowledge Explorer

Work in progress: Botopera

Practical Exercise

IRC server
pipeline to chatbot... (ircpipebot for quick chatbots?)

For next time, mockup a conversational interface...

A: Python (/ IRC)
B: Transformations of a text, to be performed in a text editor
C: Image response (a la daughter of all demos ), or Image interrogation

Some tools

Regular expressions
Python + IRC
