REALISATION

(04/18)

Automaton of isbn-maschine: "maschinist@isbnmaschine"

Until 2020, posting was realised via the tool Tweetdeck, since 2021 the machinist uses Tweettimer.

The automat posts 1569 sentences in the period 2023 from 01.05.2023, 00.00 hrs at intervals of 5 hours and 35 minutes each.

The automat was deactivated on July 24th 2023 as I did not want to post under the X, as I already worked und X professionally for 24 years, and enough is enough.

RULEBOOK

(04/18)

All records that are in the isbn-maschine on 01 May of a year (until 2021 it was 13 May) form the data stock of the machine for that year.

Each sentence is tweeted once every year.

The order of the sentences is determined by a generated random number, so it is arbitrary and is re-determined on each key date.

The tweets are distributed over the year in such a way that the first sentence is tweeted on 01 May at 00:00, and the last one is tweeted so many minutes before 24:00 of 30 April of the following year that the first tweet of the structure of the following year at 00:00 has the standard time interval of the previous year to the last tweet of the previous year.

The tweets shall have the following content:

• The sentence in inverted commas (If the total content of the tweet incl. sentence is longer than a tweet allows, the sentence is shortened to such an extent that the last word supplemented by the string " ..." is still output in full
• Line break
• Sentence name in the language of the book (first sentence, middle sentence, last sentence, last sentence)
• Space
• out or of according to the language of the book
• Space
• Title of the book in inverted commas
• Space
• von or by according to the language of the book
• space
• name of the author as #hashtag (shortened by spaces)
• space
• auf or on according to language of the book
• #isbnmachine
• Link to the sentence on www.isbn-maschine.de
• Image from abstracts

If a book is newly added to isbn-maschine, the three sentences are tweeted on the same day.

• the point "auf or on" is supplemented to "neu auf or new on".

CONCEPT

(03/18)

All sentences that are in the isbn-machine on 1 May of a year are regularly tweeted throughout the year on the Twitter account "maschinist@isbnmaschine".
For this purpose, abstractions of the isbn machine are combined with the sentences, author names and book titles and linked to the respective pages of the isbn machine on its website.

TASKS

(03/18)

• a rule must be defined to link the abstractions with the sentences of the book and the information on author and book title.
• a rule must be defined as to how the chronological sequence of the tweets should take place, which results from the work isbn-maschine.

IDEA

(02/18)

Since the isbn-machine is in fact already an automaton ("(The machinist is well aware of the fact that the isbn-machine is actually an automaton)", the idea of generating an automaton for the machine was practically inherent in the concept.
The machine's task was to take over public relations for the isbn-machine. Twitter was chosen as the medium for this.
Since marketing functions strongly visually, the machine should reconcile the visualisation of the abstractions with the source, the book.
