The most tangible expression of this is the time-consuming and frustrating experience of flat hunting. Hours of scrolling, refreshing, typing, considering, applying \u2013 mind-numbing, but easily automatable. I\u2019ve built the open-source application <em>Wohnungsbot<\/em> that automates just this.\r\n\r\nWhy has automation become synonymous to a technology employed by corporations and the state? Why is there no narrative and imagination for a public, decentralized and open automation that does not serve (if not even harm) the accumulation of capital and power?\r\n\r\nBy releasing the <em>Wohnungsbot<\/em> to the general public, I aim to spark new imaginative narratives of what automation could be. What if it weren\u2019t employed against us, but rather was a tool we had to extend and defend ourselves? While it\u2019s not a hack in a technical sense it does subvert the established (rental) system by reclaiming time and pushing the workload back to the landlords.\r\n\r\nWhile I have already successfully developed and deployed a prototype of the <em>Wohnungsbot<\/em>, I would like to develop it further within the residency and find new [artistic] formats of expressing dissent and opposition in automation. How much more than a tool can a flat-hunting bot become? Can it achieve a halt in regular flat search activity if deployed widely enough, creating a type of labor-time-DDoS?\r\n\r\nApart from all that, the <em>Wohnungsbot<\/em> simply helps people find flats. It sure did work for me.\r\n\r\n\u2014\r\n\r\nDownload <em>Wohnungsbot<\/em> for Windows\/macOS\/Linux: <a href=\"https:\/\/wohnung.neopostmodern.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/wohnung.neopostmodern.com\/<\/a>"}],"intro_preview_headline":"Clemens Sch\u00f6ll \/ Berlin & Leipzig, Germany","intro_preview_txt":"","intro_preview_img":11832,"post_id_old":"33742","post_author":"","post_subtitle":"Clemens Sch\u00f6ll \/ Berlin & Leipzig, Germany","post_preview_img_hide_on_single":false,"post_txt_old":"","post_pdf":null,"post_copyright":"ccl_default","translated_post":false,"translations":null,"post_copyright_individual":"","post_related_posts":[11783,11798,11792],"related_posts_post":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11831\/revisions"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11792"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11798"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11783"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=11831"},{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=11831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
