The Automated Workshop

Can a workshop be conducted ‘automatically’, that is, scripted in advance and executed without a human facilitator? The Automated Workshop is an experiment in developing rules, conditions, variables for a 'successful' workshop. Exercising the idea of a workshop being programmable, this experiment utilises technical concepts such as containers, wrapping, nesting, sequencing, if-then statements, debugging, as well as deliberate use of randomness and contingency. The premise of The Automated Workshop its applicability to a multiplicity of contexts.
