HOVELBOT VITRINE
opening: 3rd November
finishing: 8th or 16th December

Next meeting: Friday 7th October 16h (is also day of algolit meeting)
eventually Sunday 23rd october

instructions on the window: 
2 screens: 
    - irc chat
    - personal generated story

- a visitor connects to the local network in which the bot collects the data of their hidden network activity (should it also show the not hidden activity/what people are intentionally navigating to? free internet service in the public space???)
the new connecting device becomes principal character for the story to be generated 
- the bot shows that activity on a screen in the vitrine 
- the statistical analysis feeds the landscape (websites linked to IP-adresses & geographical positions, and amount of visits makes the 'mountains' grow): other devices feed the landscape -> statistical analysis on logs is triggered every x min
- the creature uses the connected device to travel in this landscape = costum made story for the newly connected device, generated after 5 min using the name of the device only + story is displayed
1 after 1 if there are multiple devices connecting at the (almost) same time, in that case you have to wait for your story to be displayed
Possible stories::
- journey is visualised on a screen / maybe a pdf / maybe a pdf published on lulu -> eventually replace device's name with fictional name because of privacy
-> could be a travel log
- all pdfs make for a new novel at the end of the exhibition
