lol he's dead
2011
ripper IRC (nickname), was an American computer enthusiast, recreational drug user and member of the Shroomery.org community who died of a multiple drug overdose while discussing what he was doing via chat and webcam. His death led to debate about the responsibilities and roles of online communities in life-threatening situations. [Wikipedia]
In this project, bots are enacting the event that happened on that evening, based on original IRC log file of the discussion. You can join the chatroom as a user and take part in the discussion.
