Type of proposal
Talk
Description of your talk / panel / workshop / demo
I automate repetitive storytelling, enhance my memory, and generally augment my social interactions through a network of bespoke computer software designed specifically for me. I will discuss the various tools that I use and how they transform my communications, and I will conclude with some first steps that you can take if you would like to create a similar digital appendage for yourself.
This talk is particularly related to the following of the topics that are itemized in the call for proposals.
- local networks for community
- experimental application of computer networks
- network security for ordinary citizens
- artistic use of computer networks
- personal networks
- experimental social networks
- control and ownership of networks
Length of talk / panel / workshop
I could fill 45 minutes, but 15 minutes is already enough time to present something useful. How about 45 minutes?

Speaker Bio
Thomas Levine is a dada artist who really likes to sleep. His interests in dada and sleep are largely a rebellion against his upbringing in America that involved many elements of the Protestant work ethic. When he isn't sleeping, he often develops experimental lifestyles and life-automation software in an effort to give himself more time to sleep.
