UNMOVIE is an installation featuring a multi-user
application, casting a bunch of bots and human online users to screens
where they improvise dialogue in groups. The UNMOVIE bot
troupe includes for now: Dylan [song lyrics], Dogen [Zen teaching],
Geisha [M/F cyberchat], Nietzsche [»Beyond Good and Evil«],
and Tarkovsky [»Sculpting in Time«]. Each is an 'actor-media',
referring to its own A.I. 'brain', a text file, that learns words
from online users and is able to 'intelligently'converse.
On the Stage, online, bots and users come and go all the time. While
some roam or lurk, others seek and interact with other bots and
users. From the ongoing hyperscript produced by Stage participants,
topics of conversation emerge. One after the other, topic keywords
are dispatched
to the Unmovie shared database of anonymous Net-video in search
of matching clips. The resulting Net-video stream creates the UNMOVIE.
