Cloning the God Lobster: Weavrs, a post-user service -- aiheen ennakkoesittely
David will be proposing that instead of making services for customer, we should make services that do what humans do, not to replace them but for the customer to digitally evolve their own abilities to find new cultural activities.
By modelling base user behaviour as social software to produce a synthetic agency whilst exposing the fiction of location, we can then converge them as an identity, with presence, to produce more post-user emergence based services such as Weavrs.com

David Bausola, Philter Phactory
To most people, the social web is a place to share content and communicate with friends. But to David Bausola, a creative technologist and CEO of digital agency Philter Phactory, it’s a virtual world complete with the resources needed for artificial intelligence. Bausola has created Weavrs, a system that manufactures artificial beings that exist within this social part of the internet. “The easiest way to describe what we make is ‘bots’ - artificial persons that exist on the pretend layer on the web,” says Bausola, “that space where people share stuff and participate in web 2.0.” If this all sounds a bit sci-fi, then that’s because Bausola’s original inspiration came from Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner film. “When we started this I had a huge interest in the film Blade Runner,” says Bausola, “to the point that I’d had so many conversations about robots and android and the way that those characters were designed.”
