What will happen in your session?

Twitter recently announced changes to their application approval process that adds significant barriers to maintaining art projects like literary Twitter bots. Several prominent bot makes have decided to stop making Twitter bots as a result. Since Twitter is now a bot-unfriendly platform, it is time to seriously consider open, decentralized social networks (or other tech like RSS) as the new home for art bots. This session will begin with a brief overview of the current situation and then open up to a discussion. Where do we go from here?

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The goal is for artists who work primarily in walled garden platforms to discuss ways to escape those walled gardens. My hope is that we trade knowledge of existing solutions (like the Mastodon instance for art bots, https://botsin.space) but also a concrete outcome will be a preliminary list of requirements for any future open, decentralized platform.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Post-its and pens would be great, but we can also take notes on an etherpad or similar.

Time needed

90 mins
