Celebrating Account Corpses

Celebrating Account Corpses

The art project Movement for Account Corpses starts an opt-out program for social bots today.

Why that?

Social bots are copying our behavior in communities. In a society full of account corpses social bots wouldn't cause any problems at all, because they would be – like all members of that society – inactive. If someone posted more often than once a year, everybody would understand: Uh, it's a bot! Social bots wouldn't have any influence on anything like for instance on the German federal election.

What an inspiring utopia! To reach out for it the Movement for Account Corpses has designed a project: ASCIT – an opt-out program for social bots and other folks. During a six week training period billions of social bots and other community members learn, how to withstand their irresistible need to share, retweet, like or comment.

The exit is comprised of 3 level grades:

1) Beginner
The Movement for Account Corpses will follow bots and other folks on Facebook and Twitter, asking them to not follow back, to not like the ASCIT project and to not spread the word of it in any way.
(Period: August 15 - August 27, 2017)

2) Advanced
The Movement for Account Corpses will like, retweet and share to further strengthen the first growing community abilities to simply ignore all actions by the movement.
(Period: August 28 - September 10, 2017)

3) Expert
Those who have passed step 1 and step 2 without reacting, will be highly praised. If they keep on doing nothing, they will be praised even more.
(Period: September 11 – September 24, 2017)

With the ASCIT project the Movement for Account Corpes is celebrating its tenth anniversary in its usual ecstatic way

The Second Life based Movement for Account Corpses was founded by the avatar Muji Zapedzki and her account keeper Susanne Berkenheger in 2007. By general request of the account corpse scene, the movement declared to represent the account corpses of all metaverses and online communities in the very first month of its existence. The estimated number of members runs into tens of billions.

The Movement for Account Corpses was presented at the exhibition second art, has been nominated for the IBM Award for New Media 2008 and was awarded the CYNETart prize 2008. In 2009 the fictional weblog The Last Days of Second Life was awarded the net residency Bremen and participated in the project e-tribal art by the Romanian foundation "AltArt". In 2011 the blog got a honorable mention at the International Competition New Media (on/offline) by the Stuttgarter Filmwinter. With the augmented reality project In Account Corpses We Trust the movement joined the arOCCUPY May Day 2012 in New York.
