©Bots is and interactive website focusing upon copyright issues. The website claims that with the internet, corporations "compete for your attention, for access to your memory, fertile ground where they can install their memes." The user can create a ©Bot to protect the "valuable real estate" of their mind. a ©Bot contains pop culture references, but the user creates them into a contradiction, to get rid of entrenched memes and bring the subconscious thoughts and icons created by corporations to a conscious, alterable level. I really enjoyed the interactive level of this site: pictured is a ©Bot that I created. But I think the website uses the interactive, fun game aspect of the creator to get across a message about the insidious use of logos and images copyrighted by corporations. There is also a sharing portion: a gallery allows users to save and share their ©Bots for others to enjoy.
