>>> We will be screening our bots during the Summaery 2015 at the Digital Bauhaus Lab <<<
Save the date: Thursday 09.07.15, 20:00 – 23:00
Twitterbots at the Summaery:
- Awkward Bot (@awk_bot) combining akward pictures with awkward questions
- Animal Faces Bot (@animalize_it), an animalistic face substitution bot
- Picturius Bottian (@picturius), a photoshop-like filter effects bot
- 3D Bot (@uipluis), make a 3D image!
- Kaleidogif Bot (@kaleidogif), feat. animated kaleidoscopic gifs
- 8bit Bot (@8bitify), retro computifies everything!
- Imagesorting Bot (@JHDrop), messing up pixels since 2015
Check out the List of Twitter-Bots running on our brand new Videowall.
Send them a tweet with an image to see what they do.
Or just follow @botsnplots on Twitter.
Description
The internet of things is infiltrating the social web.
A rich ecosystem of social bots is evolving right now.
Those bots range from the purposeful via the poetic to the philosophical.
And they are starting to talk to each other.
In the Bots 'n' Plots course, we will create little robots that doodle and babble.
Our robots will be based in software, but we will also learn how to connect them with the physical world, using vision sound and serial connections.
In the course of the class you will:
- Learn programming with Python
- Process images and text
- Create generative drawings and poems
- Use APIs for the social web, including Twitter and Mediawiki
- Create your own software bots and make them talk to each other
The course requires no previous programming experience.
As a result of the course you will acquire fundamental programming skills that will enable you to take more advanced courses in the future.
It is recommended to combine the course with the eval(nature) module.
Beschreibung
Das Internet der Dinge erobert die sozialen Netzwerke.
Im Augenblick entwickelt sich ein vielfältiges Ökosystem sozialer Bots.
Die Bots decken ein weites Spektrum ab, vom Praktischen, über Poetisches bis hin zum Philosophischen.
Und sie fangen an miteinander zu kommunizieren...
In Malen nach 0 und 1 werden wir kleine Roboter erschaffen, die kritzeln und brabbeln.
Unsere Roboter bestehen aus Nullen und Einsen, aber wir werden auch lernen sie mit der materiellen Welt zu verbinden, wobei Kameras, Töne und Kabel zum Einsatz kommen.
Im Rahmen des Moduls werdet ihr:
- Programmieren mit Python lernen
- Grafik und Text verarbeiten
- Generative Grafiken und Gedichte erzeugen
- APIs für Soziale Netzwerke nutzen, inkl. Twitter und Mediawiki
- Eigene Software-Bots entwickeln und sie dazu bringen miteinander zu reden.
Dieses Modul erfordert keine Programmierkentnisse.
Im Rahmen des Kurses werden grundlegende Programmierkentnisse vermittelt, die es ermöglichen in Zukunft fortgeschrittene Kurse zu belegen.
Es wird empfohlen diesen Kurs mit dem Projekt-Modul eval(nature) zu kombinieren.
