Title: Infrapunctural Imaginaries (exercise) |

# Infrapunctural Imaginaries |
||||
|
|
||||
|
While keeping in mind that different groups use different tools all differently [:-)] it is important to take some time to focus on a specific context, to zoom in and work with a specific context in mind. What digital tool does a group use to communicate with each other? What are the norms of the conversations and who decides what is normal? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
To dive into these question and further explore how communicative tools are transforming and being transformed by groups, we will now switch modes and do an exercise. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
So far, you have encountered different digital infrastructures throughout this module. In this section we will focus specifically on *communicative infrastructures*, which for example include micro-blogging platforms, groupchats, discussion forums, mailinglists, etc. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
# Why an exercise? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Doing an exercise will create space to engage with the term *digital infrapunctures* in a playful way, allowing us to speculate about possible bot interventions or infrapunctural actions. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
# What is the exercise? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Imagine that a specific group is working with (or on) a bot as infrapunctural intervention. Choose a communicative infrastructure that is used by the group for this intervention and imagine what is happening. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
At the end of the exercise, you have written a script of a speculative dialog, that displays how the bot operates, what its attitude is and what it would say. The format of the dialog will challenge you to also think about possible responses and reactions to the bot, which are obviously a piece of fiction as well. |

# Bots as Digital Infrapunctures |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Welcome to the online module *Bots as Digital Infrapunctures*. :-) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Inspired by the potential of "digital infrapuncture", a term coined by researcher Deb Verhoeven, this module brings bots and infrastructure together as *infrapunctures*. "Infrapuncture" is a portmanteau word which conflates "infrastructure" and "acupuncture", referring to small-scale interventions that have a catalytic effect on the whole. This module explores what role bots can have as infrastructural "stress relievers". |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The module contains a set of exercises, short programming logic introductions and video recordings of invited speakers. You will encounter examples of bots, bot makers and theoretical reflections. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
# Goals |
||||
|
|
||||
|
By the end of this course you will have analyzed the norms and values embedded in a specific digital environment where group formation and group communication happens (e.g. micro-blogging platforms, groupchats, discussion forums, mailinglists, etc). |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Through readings, introductions and exercises, you will have reflected on how infrastructural agency, impact or power is shaped and structured. You will have identified moments of tension and friction within digital infrastructures and considered how a bot could intervene to release stress. |
||||
|
|
||||
