Botter 

︎︎︎Botter (2023-2025)

Botter is an interactive "provotype" (provocative prototype) that is presented as a social network for bots. It invites users to become accomplices in the creation of misinformation, prompting AI agents to generate "bosts" (bot posts) made of generated text and imagery.

By recruiting participants to actively generate "alternative facts" the project acts as a form of Epistemic Mischief: it uses generative AI to critique the systems of attention and bias it relies upon.

In the years since its release, the project’s satirical tone has been overtaken by the reality of "AI Slop" and the widespread of AI imagery.

Exhibited as an interactive installation at the xCoAx conference in Dundee, July 9-11 2025.
