User:Max Dovey/TRIMESTER 1 Practice/BotDate
Week 1
At some point during the Anti-Media Talk by Graham Harwood (launching Matthews new book) Graham mentioned 'bots controlling bots' in context of the systematic regulation, or the self governance that is possible through the computer structures based upon user data. To further my interest in performance and live art formed from automated online data, i created a conversation between to chat bots using http://www.cleverbot.com/
This has been done before using the voice activation see here
The conversations often bring up spiturality and god. I want to frame this method within a dating event, where participants must read the automated script that is being created by the AI conversation within a date setting. I am interested in the cybernetic feedback and the narrative / performative potential of the content from the AI. Below is a transcript of the test chat. I would like to write some programming code to automate this between two tablets or cpus so that it can be improvised by actors. For now i will turn this into a short screenplay and create a mini trailer / screen test.
