Why spend a day building an autonomous entity that lives in a computer and communicates exclusively through social media? Why not! Bots can make art, curate museum collections, write poetry, tell jokes, and befuddle onlookers. As a bonus, their intrinsic constraints make them a great introduction to creative coding.

In this workshop, Darius Kazemi will teach you how to design and program a Twitter bot. You'll learn about historical antecedents to the Twitter bot, what the current bot landscape is like, and what the Twitter API lets us do.

To attend this workshop no previous coding knowledge is required, but participants will have to bring a laptop with a web browser.

This workshop is fully booked. Nevertheless we recommend you go onsite and check if there has been any last minute cancellation.
