I’m the founder of Creative Commons netlabel Vulpiano Records and video artist collective VIDEO HOOK-UPS. I work for Rate Your Music / Sonemic as Community and Social Media Manager. I am a graduate of Manchester Metropolitan University with an MA in filmmaking and have a BA in Studio Art from San Francisco State University, focusing on digital media and emerging technologies and minoring in sexuality studies. In my art, I often like to explore androgyny and interrogate maleness and submission, often with the aid of what is available for adaptation in the public domain and Creative Commons sphere. In my free time, I love to make bots, playlists, read, and play video games. Art My studies and personal projects involve a mixture of analog and digital techniques, including 35mm photography, digital photography, video art, and collage. Androgynous models, dolls, toys, and harmony between the virtual / natural worlds are recurring images in my work. <img width="3456" height="4917" width_o="3456" height_o="4917" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7e5696a55122d29fe1aa597dc57c7562a990f29c568c737dec6cdf965eb77ba/IMG_3623.jpg" data-mid="85753894" border="0" data-scale="42" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7e5696a55122d29fe1aa597dc57c7562a990f29c568c737dec6cdf965eb77ba/IMG_3623.jpg" />In 2018, I began to work with Twine and Twitter bots, releasing some divinatory projects (The Public Tarot and Songs of Near and Far Away) and meditations on pretty boys and the occult (10,000 Imaginary Boys). <img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03c9f28ba3a08e8f9f93c3c12b2237059db660f1bbfd2ecf315a18ca333cb097/IMG_5975-2.jpg" data-mid="85753775" border="0" data-scale="40" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03c9f28ba3a08e8f9f93c3c12b2237059db660f1bbfd2ecf315a18ca333cb097/IMG_5975-2.jpg" /> You can find my full exhibition history here. Music My own musical interests initially developed through a childhood love of Kraftwerk’s Computer World, playing the keyboard, and learning to play the video game soundtrack tunes of Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu by ear. Through my teen years, I used a variety of guides to shape my interests and help in my quest to find music. The Rate Your Music community and 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die proved particularly influential. Icontributed to the Rate Your Music Ultimate Box Set project, making definitive genre playlists for post-Punk, coldwave, vaporwave, and mod. I am now Community and Social Media Manager at Rate Your Music and regularly curate playlists and highlight user content for the site. I’ve been running the Creative Commons-based netlabel Vulpiano Records since November 2009. Artists from around the world have released works through Vulpiano, including Natural Snow Buildings, Derek Piotr, Calvin Markus, Neurotic Wreck, and Aseptic Void. All releases are hosted on Internet Archive, with select albums also available on Free Music Archive and Bandcamp. In November 2019, Vulpiano Records had its first limited edition physical release with Vulpiano Records 10-Year Anniversary on cassette. <img width="3968" height="2976" width_o="3968" height_o="2976" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1b33907e7afc9d730863dbfbbbc2a7bb1ce91e634ab699feead6fd75c2d92525/Vulp_Quality.jpg" data-mid="85754147" border="0" data-scale="61" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1b33907e7afc9d730863dbfbbbc2a7bb1ce91e634ab699feead6fd75c2d92525/Vulp_Quality.jpg" /> I started the music blog A Future in Noise in 2008 as a place to store my thoughts on music and promote artists that I liked — particularly independent and unsigned artists — along with other team members. I released my own synth compositions beginning in 2008 through 2009, using a KORG Triton and Propellerhead Reason. I would recommend my 2009 album New Limerent Object as a starting point. Gender and Sexuality In early adulthood, a number of factors collided to bring me closer to self-awareness: moving to San Francisco, my adoration of cross-dressing rock star Nicky Wire, a friend’s recommendation of Poppy Z. Brite’s writing, Kate Bornstein’s My Gender Workbook, Carol Queen and Lawrence Schmiel’s PoMoSexuals, and learning about a panoply of identities through connecting&nbsp;with others like me. I started my site Genderqueer and Non-Binary Identities in September 2010 as a place to host a design for the genderqueer flag I created and to share information about genderqueerness, covering definitions, a history of the term and associated communities, academic research, health information, and compilations of external genderqueer resources such as books and articles. I was photographed by Chloe Aftel for GenderQueer (2014), which has been featured in San Francisco Magazine, Huffington Post, and Slate. I worked as Social Media Coordinator at Good Vibrations from fall 2015 through winter 2016, after starting out as a Sex Educator / Sales Associate. I managed all Good Vibes social media profiles directly, created blog posts about top products and company news, including helping to promote Carol Queen and Shar Rednour’s book The Sex &amp; Pleasure Book: Good Vibrations Guide to Great Sex for Everyone<img src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=marilynroxie-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B016QVMJPK" width="1" height="1" style="width: 1px; height: 1px;">. I interned with the Center for Sex &amp; Culture in varying capacities beginning in summer 2011, culminating with my role as Media Director in 2014. I discovered the Center through familiarity with Carol Queen‘s writing and her work as Staff Sexologist at Good Vibrations. I had interviewed Queen at the Center in March 2011. You can read more about my experience there in a post at the CSC Tumblr. Serving as a combination of library tech, social media manager, and webmaster, I helped get the Center for Sex and Culture’s thousands of books indexed on Goodreads&nbsp;and fundraised $2000 for CSC’s Grace Alley Mural project through social media. <img width="2047" height="1359" width_o="2047" height_o="1359" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0224dea25af1a82aeae6df79b350e2dc85a99ccea50b80a6e02b36f00d65882a/DSC05065.jpg" data-mid="85753842" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0224dea25af1a82aeae6df79b350e2dc85a99ccea50b80a6e02b36f00d65882a/DSC05065.jpg" /> WORK https://marilynroxie.com/WORK Tue, 13 Oct 2020 00:44:04 +0000 Marilyn Roxie https://marilynroxie.com/WORK MARILYN ROXIE - WORK <img width="640" height="640" width_o="640" height_o="640" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb7fa9f3400513c780586742b7d5f12101a17370adb403a36b6c36722b161a38/icons-g30db41643_640.png" data-mid="143340088" border="0" data-scale="12" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/bb7fa9f3400513c780586742b7d5f12101a17370adb403a36b6c36722b161a38/icons-g30db41643_640.png" /> Rate Your Music&nbsp; <img width="256" height="256" width_o="256" height_o="256" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87dd3ebe319eb9778711d7aa4e86c2b7dcd3e9a0fa4af8628922adbc9ab2ee52/sonemic-256.png" data-mid="85712392" border="0" data-scale="19" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/256/i/87dd3ebe319eb9778711d7aa4e86c2b7dcd3e9a0fa4af8628922adbc9ab2ee52/sonemic-256.png" />I am the Community and Social Media Manager for Sonemic / Rate Your Music, Glitchwave, and Cinemos.

I transcribed interview audio, compiled submitted art materials and artist biographies using Google Drive and Dropbox, and helped to edit an LRLX book pitch for publication into a professional prospectus.

I set up affiliate links and banners, added links to upcoming events, and compiled previous articles and videos from websites past and present to provide a full view of Queen’s contributions to sex education and activist discourse.

David Frankel Collection for Paula Levine’s forthcoming San Francisco Public Library exhibition. The collection is comprised of poetry books, literary magazines, and university press works. I utilized Google Sites, Google Sheets, Awesome-Table, and Dropbox to upload photos, display the collection in catalog form and make it searchable by the public, and perform data entry to describe works in terms of title, author, date, publisher, location, and other fields. You can check out the collection here.

I managed Good Vibrations company social media accounts directly and created and posted content for Good Vibrations blog, including the launch of Carol Queen and Shar Rednour’s THE Sex &amp; Pleasure Book: Good Vibrations Guide to Great Sex for Everyone. I also regularly coordinated with colleagues in marketing and web development to share and implement ideas in projects. As a SESA, I answered customer questions around sex toys and safer sex supplies and received comprehensive training from the Good Vibes educational department as part of my training. <img width="768" height="576" width_o="768" height_o="576" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/11dcd4f48cf8d3581981e753d60386561a837e59d99382e1d3385509f208a9e2/GV_1.jpg" data-mid="85714394" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/11dcd4f48cf8d3581981e753d60386561a837e59d99382e1d3385509f208a9e2/GV_1.jpg" /> Photo by Andy Duran Internet Archive <img width="180" height="179" width_o="180" height_o="179" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d96126ac90ba0f19e0bc08e504cb9ce822d03c51d581ed832d9683df2ef71d31/download.jpeg" data-mid="85713284" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/180/i/d96126ac90ba0f19e0bc08e504cb9ce822d03c51d581ed832d9683df2ef71d31/download.jpeg" /> In late 2014, I worked with the Collections team at Internet Archive to filter through a Wayback Machine webcrawl of 30,000 websites for pornography sites that were also link farm and spam content sites. Developed guidelines document for current and future volunteers on how to tell legitimate pornography and adult themed websites apart from illegitimate sites and implemented a genre-tagging system. I collected the most amusing banners on spam porn sites during my trek here at Awkward Porn Banners.The Center for Sex and Culture was a San Francisco non-profit. CSC was dedicated to providing a community space and library that is welcoming to people across the spectrum of gender, sex, and sexuality diversity. I was a library intern, then social media and web manager, and finally media director for CSC, my time there spanning from 2011 - 2014.

I contributed to book and periodical cataloging, website redesign, made regular news and event updates across CSC's social media platforms, and successfully fundraised $2000 for the Center’s Grace Alley Mural Project. I was Media Director of CSC up until fall 2013 and was a content curator of photography, art, and events for the Center for Sex and Culture blog. The Grace Alley Mural was eventually painted over due to repeated vandalism, though a thorough documentation of the mural's progress in photos lives on in my photos. The mural featured art by Eddie Colla, Finley Coyl, Amanda Lynn, and Eclair Acuda Bandersnatch. In 2013, I read "What Does It Mean to Be Genderqueer?" at CSC's spoken word event A Night of GenderQueer Readings.I made a return to the Center as a curator for a video show: Just Experimenting: Video Art Exploring the Margins of Gender and Sexuality (2017) and Just Experimenting: Playing the Sexual Edge of Film (2018). The Center for Sex and Culture sadly closed in 2019 - you can read more about this here.

In addition to being a sales associate, I co-maintained Modern Times’ social media presence through 2014 and coordinated with California College of the Arts professors to sell textbooks to students on their first day of class at the CCA Oakland campus. You can read an interview with me about Modern Times at Fabulously Feminist. Modern Times sadly closed in 2016. You can read more about this at SF Gate.

VULPIANO RECORDS https://marilynroxie.com/VULPIANO-RECORDS Tue, 13 Oct 2020 00:34:27 +0000 Marilyn Roxie https://marilynroxie.com/VULPIANO-RECORDS MARILYN ROXIE - MUSIC&nbsp; - VULPIANO RECORDS Vulpiano Records was launched in November 2009 by synth musician Marilyn Roxie. Initially created as a place to house unsigned and independent artists Roxie had gotten to know from connecting with friends on social music sites and submissions to their music blog A Future in Noise. These artists got on board with Roxie’s vision of a carefully curated selection of legally free digital music. The music is licensed under Creative Commons to encourage sharing of this fabulous music with friends and through blogs and podcasts. Some artists choose to offer pay-what-you-want or limited physical release copies in addition to the digital release. In June 2011, Solange Gularte of Natural Snow Buildings designed a logo of a fox curled up (one eye shut, one watchful eye open) for the netlabel. Vulpiano Records is available in its entirety on Internet Archive, a selection of 256kbps+ releases is available on Free Music Archive, and a selection of lossless releases is on Bandcamp.

Published&nbsp;February 12, 2018I recently watched the anime DEVILMAN crybaby. I was inspired to tune in by seeing dozens of posts about it on social media in early January 2018. The series was on the one hand acclaimed and on the other hand repeatedly described in media as “gross” and “shockingly violent”, and by some viewers as problematic. Beyond being vaguely aware of the decades-old DEVILMAN that this was an iteration of, I had no idea what to expect. At just 10 episodes, I thought it would be a good show to marathon-watch and evaluate for myself. Of course, I was also intrigued to read everybody’s takes on it once I could safely do so without anything being a spoiler for me. I had to find out for myself. <img width="273" height="300" width_o="273" height_o="300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c20226e61632b9cd97bb7309d6d79b71c2e4e8ae611ed9bf5b1f8f856a04795e/stolas-illustration.jpg" data-mid="85720467" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/273/i/c20226e61632b9cd97bb7309d6d79b71c2e4e8ae611ed9bf5b1f8f856a04795e/stolas-illustration.jpg" /> Stolas, best owl-demon ever: “Great Prince of Hell, commands twenty-six legions of demons, and teaches astronomy and the knowledge of poisonous plants, herbs and precious stones.” I was already a fan of Black Butler and an appreciator of occult weirdness involving demons such as the Ars Goetia and the bafflingly corny Sexual Alchemy: Magical Intercourse With Spirits, so after skimming some information, I was sure that I would find something interesting to consider in DEVILMAN crybaby. I watched it in full in a few days’ time. Spoilers ahead for DEVILMAN crybaby and&nbsp; — very briefly — Black Butler, though be aware that this essay is going to turn to wider considerations in creative media beyond these; you don’t need to have watched them to understand the point I am aiming for. <img width="300" height="169" width_o="300" height_o="169" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47b02e6b454c027013e28ab20a08131026ffe71169bca3e83d5bc831b2bc9857/angela.jpg" data-mid="85720469" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/47b02e6b454c027013e28ab20a08131026ffe71169bca3e83d5bc831b2bc9857/angela.jpg" /> Evil angel(s) in Black Butler. I thought some aspects of the series were clunky or underdeveloped; the awkward rapping or the lack of detail in what Ryo’s life is like when he is away from Akira; perhaps this is meant to be shrouded in mystery, so we don’t begin to guess Ryo’s true identity as Satan too early on. That said, a couple of episodes in I saw Ryo as color-coded for my convenience, concluding he must be an ‘evil angel’ due to his white garb and unflappable attitude, instantly recalling the fallen angel of Black Butler in my mind. <img width="300" height="168" width_o="300" height_o="168" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2cef85158a18b5bc2f8f6ec06ee4208eaa83de139b17e9350bc47bb7f4467dae/devilmanend.jpg" data-mid="85720481" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/2cef85158a18b5bc2f8f6ec06ee4208eaa83de139b17e9350bc47bb7f4467dae/devilmanend.jpg" /> Akira and Ryo/Satan in DEVILMAN crybaby at the end of the series All told, I found DEVILMAN crybaby enjoyable for two main reasons: 1) its overt queer themes and the varied, complex expression of them: Miko/Miki, Koda shown with another man at the beginning of episode #6, and, ultimately, the sexual tension between Ryo-as-Satan and Akira; 2) its apocalyptic ending: Satan left on planet earth as the only being alive. I feel compelled to check out the older DEVILMAN material now that I’ve seen this to see how it compares. I was completely flabbergasted by was how un-grossed out by the series I was. I expected to feel annoyed by pointless fanservice (not all fanservice is pointless!) and to wince at old-school Mortal Kombat levels of bloodshed. Instead, I got multiple angles of same-sex (or human/demon) sexual tension or outright depiction, and comedically over-the-top limb-shredding. It’s dark, heavy content and content warnings are warranted. But callout posts are never in that vein. They take a tone of moral superiority and condemnation if one continues to read any work deemed problematic — ㋐ Vrai Kaiser ㋐ (@WriterVrai) December 28, 2017 As Vrai Kaiser notes, “The Ryo of DEVILMAN crybaby is a monster because of his lack of compassion rather than his queerness. But even he is offered hope, as the realization that he loved Akira all along becomes a catalyst for change and rebirth.” Further, it has been said that DEVILMAN crybaby subverts many of the earlier incarnation’s potentially questionable tropes. I searched just about everything I could equating DEVILMAN crybaby with the term “problematic” and its synonyms, just to try to help me wrap my head around how a certain audience has made such an extreme assessment of it. It’s a given that people are going to be impacted by the same piece of media differently. Nonetheless, I wondered: what was accounting for the big disparity of reactions here? It’s one thing to not like a piece of media; removing oneself from fans of it by blocking, unfollowing, or otherwise distancing and shaming is another. One absolutely has the right to not engage with material that makes one uncomfortable and to critique media thoughtfully: ‘Devilman, Sirene, sexual assault and consent- an earnest breakdown’ is one such thoughtful post. As for those engaged in more of a pile-on of fans of the series, I wondered: is this a pool of people who don’t ordinarily watch anime, or only watched certain kinds that don’t expect violence and sex from “a cartoon”? Or is it rather people who expect that certain themes ought to be hands-off in creative work&nbsp;in general?&nbsp;The more I searched, the more I began to believe it was the latter, and this concerned me on a level beyond my&nbsp;pondering on DEVILMAN. Thinking about trends I have seen within anime fandom discourse (which I will return to in a bit) as well as earlier patterns I have researched in literature and art, the picture became all the more clear. One such example is Dennis Cooper. I thought of Cooper’s body of work and the frequent — and erroneous, to me — application of the word “shock value” to describe his fiction. It’s fascinating to me that one person can review Cooper’s Try and say “the “disturbing” nature of the story seemed to be for shock-value only with no real purpose or message.” and another to say “the writing in TRY is so remarkably fluid and loose, yet completely gorgeous and resonating…throughout the story lies a delicacy, a cuteness that gives the entire book a tone that one would likely find odd and discomforting if they aren’t familiar with the teenage mind.” Cooper has even responded to this application himself saying in Spin (July 1994): “…people say I’m into shock value, but I’m not. I’m just…I’m really worried about stuff.” In Vice in 2015, again he explains this predominant subject matter: I started using those motifs [of pretty boys getting killed] when I was a teenager, and obviously when I was thinking about it as a teenager, I was thinking about it being the young one. And now I’m much older and I’m still writing about it, and I’m not really the young one anymore. So… I don’t really know. There’s something about it that’s very scary to me…I find that really disturbing, and I find it really fascinating that people do that to each other. Not everyone is going to enjoy reading Dennis Cooper’s books, be it because of the subject matter, Cooper’s writing style, or anything else that may not necessarily appeal or even squick one out; totally understandable. The aspect that intrigues me is a pervasive notion in some circles that some topics either should never be written about or — if they are written about — they intrinsically have a negative or exploitative outcome or act as endorsements for the content within. In this view, there is no room for the author’s intent, divergent audience interpretation, or even frank discussion. <img width="300" height="169" width_o="300" height_o="169" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/210c714cfc00881ed9c31578489668f16507b9a90f62031d14fc1e6682ffb555/lustrous.jpg" data-mid="85720486" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/210c714cfc00881ed9c31578489668f16507b9a90f62031d14fc1e6682ffb555/lustrous.jpg" /> Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) Returning to anime and manga, one controversy around creative subject matter that hit my timeline was a post on Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) creator Haruko Ichikawa’s earlier works. The post in question, ‘Houseki no Kuni’s Mangaka Makes ¥ off of Incest &amp; Pedophilia’, has, at the time of my post, nearly 3000 notes on Tumblr. Despite not being familiar with HNK myself, I saw a reaction of great distress among people I was following who were into it. Everyone seemed to be questioning whether they could go on being a fan of anything Ichikawa-related whatsoever. I had to delve deeper to see what was going on here. This is all not to say that those who decide they are done with Ichikawa or are at least concerned about their consumption of Ichikawa’s works are in the wrong, and that those who approach it from an angle of allowing for dark and heavy content are right. One must decide for themselves where to draw the line with the media they partake in. Indeed, nuance is key: it is the all-consuming destructive decrees that one must avoid [xyz] to be a good fan or a socially acceptable member of a community. This has in some cases led to bullying creators, including into attempting suicide for creating “problematic” fanart. I have discussed some of these works and ideas with friends as I was preparing this post. A few people have expressed the notion that this debate is insular, taking place chiefly among teenagers on social media who are concerned with social justice. It does indeed appear to be primarily young people engaged in this type of discourse. In this case I think it is even more important for people to be aware of and engage in the freedom to explore creatively without fear of censorship or bullying. Imagine being a teenager and feeling afraid or shamed out of of writing a story, drawing a picture, shooting a video, or making a game because your thoughts or curiosities of themes to explore aren’t as wholesome as a Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure. <img width="300" height="226" width_o="300" height_o="226" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bec8b7665e3093544df59972135138e3d2a78c97db112037c7a498e377bc28a7/cinnamonroll.png" data-mid="85720491" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/bec8b7665e3093544df59972135138e3d2a78c97db112037c7a498e377bc28a7/cinnamonroll.png" /> Consume or create one Pure Cinnamon Roll per day to meet your daily nutritional value for media health. [laugh track]It is of course crucial to also be aware that depictions in media that appear to endorse or glorify stereotypes and violence can inform real-world behavior; accountability, criticism, and a mixture of audience reactions are all part of a healthy media culture. There are also many incredible fictional works more explicitly articulating social justice themes, as there should be. The social mode of call-out culture, of appointing oneself an an ‘anti‘, however, is another thing altogether. It is deeply unhealthy and discouraging to complex artistic expression. This is especially true when taken to extremes of shaming, harassment, and even death threats towards fans or creators with different taste or opinion on media than oneself. We cannot, and should not, wield a kind of media banhammer against works simply because we do not understand them or they squick us out. We should critique, discuss, and share. We certainly should not enforce a kind of creative purity or list of rules that aim to prevent people from exploring the darker recesses of their psyche, fantasies and what-ifs, and articulating confusing or traumatic lived experiences through art that don’t meet some imaginary approved codes or quotas of representation. Deeply personal work in particular will not&nbsp;speak to everyone in the audience, and this is okay. Art can act as catharsis for the artist and, ideally, connection with like-minded souls who will bring their own reading of the work to the table. <img width="250" height="234" width_o="250" height_o="234" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68edeba2fd7cb154c4ded892f7a54bfcc5b5dbbe04b54d9d3cb81060ef85c0e1/250px-Hammer.jpg" data-mid="85720508" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/250/i/68edeba2fd7cb154c4ded892f7a54bfcc5b5dbbe04b54d9d3cb81060ef85c0e1/250px-Hammer.jpg" /> The banhammer itself. (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) Rather than making the immediate assumption that creators are acting in bad faith or exclusively attempting to shock or titillate by including certain themes in their work, let’s move forward to unpack a deeper or alternative meaning as step number one as well as dare to dive deeply into the dark in our own work when expression calls for it. A Sampling of My Favorite Twitter Bots https://marilynroxie.com/A-Sampling-of-My-Favorite-Twitter-Bots Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:44:49 +0000 Marilyn Roxie https://marilynroxie.com/A-Sampling-of-My-Favorite-Twitter-Bots A Sampling of My Favorite Twitter Bots Published March 1, 2018What is a Twitter bot? In brief, it is a Twitter account that you can program to do automated posts, including: responses based on what other users tweet at it, generative text based on sentence structures you determine in the code, and generative images that manipulate variables like color and shape. Tracery makes jumping into programming Twitter bots easy with its visual display; jump into the Tracery editor and see for yourself and check out Crystal Code Palace for a more detailed tutorial. My first step into making Twitter bots was The Public Tarot, still being tweaked and refined. I have been familiar with bots for so long, being a Twitter user since 2008, that I had not foreseen just how many people I would have to explain what a bot was to until more recently. As soon as I mention "spambots", more people are familiar with the idea of purposefully automated account behavior. If you've ever made a Facebook post about a movie only to have a Facebook 'user' immediately comment WATCH STAR WARS HD &gt;&gt;&gt; CLICK HERE &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;!!! followed by a dubious link: that was a bot. Automated accounts providing everything from customer service responses, search features, and weather updates such as a host of Facebook messenger accounts are also bots. Bots, however, are much more than spam-generators or customer service helpers. They are also art. One of the first accounts that I assumed was a bot was Horse_ebooks Horse_ebooks was later revealed to have its posts written directly by humans rather than generated from code and new updates ceased. The fact that so many people believed in the accidental beauty generated from bots, however, turns our attention to what actual bots can do. Here, then, are a sampling of my favorite Twitter bots across a variety of categories: text, occult, emoji, and images. Text: Occult: Emoji and Unicode Symbols: Images:
