Title: Step 3: How does the bot punctuate? Slug: 04-s5-step-3 Date: 2020-11-01 12:03 Summary: Continuation of the excercise.
*Outline a bot that engages with the specific point of stress you have identified. Consider the following questions.* ------------------------ How could a bot intervene in this situation? Or following Verhoeven's terminology, how could it *punctuate*? ------------------------ What (programmatic) behaviour could your bot enact? - *repetition*: bots can be run repeatedly - *condition*: bots are often written in response to a particular condition - *iteration*: bots can be used multiple times - *memory*: bots can rely on a database - *tempo*: bots can operate at a specific time frame as described by the programmer - *versioning*: bots can make multiple versions of an original source - *amplification*: bots can extend the reach of a message ------------------------ Some further questions that can help narrow down the action mode of your bot. * What roles can be picked up by a bot? Is the bot for example a janitor, gardener, reporter? * In what way is the bot conducive to the well-being of its context? * What modes of interaction does the bot use? Is the bot for example witnessing, listening, gathering, greeting, sparking, whispering, reminding, shouting? ------------------------
