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::
*it pursuits you - perhaps waiting for users where they are most commonly spotted (the facebook mountain for instance)
*it doesn't go along with statistical data, but has personality in way of navigating the landscape (randomized?) 
*it learns from you
*commercial / non-commercial journey
*lonely journey or most visited places?
- 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

task list :
*script to go from ipaddress to locations (An)
*James:  I'm going to create a Python script that emits json to a       websocket.  The format will be something like:
*{name: "JBGs-MacbookPro", url: "facebook.com", date: "1475157874"       
** I'm going to create html/css/javascript abstract mountain       visualization which consumes the websocket.  Think triangles       growing.
*uploaded scripts are here: http://www.algolit.net/frankenstein/Vitrine/
*extract fragments of the novel (Piero/Anne)
*print a few more copies of the publication (only 2 left now)
