JIMB-bot
Experience Design, Creative Coding
May 2025
JIMB-bot is my undergraduate thesis project, combining installation and web design to create an experience that critiques our neoliberal perception of time. The installation was shown at the 2025 Media Arts + Practice Undergraduate Thesis Showcase and included many physical elements such as printed reports and access cards. An adapted all-virtual version may be found here through my Github.
Installation Documentation
JIMB-bot described in the language of JIMB-bot:
JIMB-bot is a state of the art conversational bot, engineered for the evaluation of temporal efficiency and perceptual analysis. Employees visiting the installation will be able to talk with JIMB-bot and receive an in-depth assessment of their time optimization aptitudes. Efficiency, productivity, measurable outcomes — JIMB-bot knows that this is the correct definition of time. Non-conformist approaches to these neoliberal ideals are not tolerated and personnel optimization procedures will be conducted on offending individuals. JIMB-bot’s assessment may seem precise, but is time really something to be optimized, or is there more to it than what’s measured and controlled?
