Title: Critical Interventions through Bots (exercise) Slug: 01-s6-introduction Date: 2020-11-01 12:00 Summary: Start of the excercise.

In this section we will make and run a bot!

First we will look into the materiality of a bot: How is it operating? What code is needed to make one? And how does it connect to an infrastructure, both in a technical and dialogical way?

To dive into the computational side of making bots, we will discuss a couple of basic features of programming logic, such as loops, if/else statements and variabled. It will help us to get to know the language and mechanisms in which these automated agents are written.

We will look at the code of a bot by XXX, to study how other people operate them.

Lastly, we will finish this module by running a bot ourselves.

Ready? :-)
