Web Intervention - pippinbarr/dart450-2018 GitHub Wiki
For the purposes of this course, web intervention will mean taking alternate design perspectives on the technology (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript), function (e.g. social media, news, magazine), and aesthetics (e.g. standard layouts, palettes, typography) of the web.
This will require thinking about the current conventions and traditions involved in web design (through personal experience and observation), research into alternate design methodologies (via readings, examples), and learning web technologies themselves (via the exercises and technical material).
We will express this idea of web intervention by exploring alternative forms of web design and development that place an emphasis on interactive and dynamic websites that critique, deconstruct, controvert or otherwise mess with the underlying design assumptions conventionally found online.
What are some of the current conventions involved in the web aesthetically, functionally, or technologically?
Do we know any examples of already existing web interventions according to our approach? Add to this list over the course!
- Reversible Destiny (physics-based website layout)
- FORM (abstract visual use of HTML elements)
- Rube Goldberg HTML Form (HTML form elements as Rube Goldberg device)
- n10as (personalisable internet radio website)
- Permanent Redirect (Art that moves to a new URL every time you view it)
