ONLINE ZINESDiana Li8 sessions >> Thursdays, June 7–July 266:30–9:30pm, DMS2, $385No coding experience necessary. Open to beginners who would like to learn the basics of coding in a collective environment.
For over six years, Andres Galeano has been photographing and video-recording index fingers touching and pointing at things in and out of frame. Those of us who spend a good amount of time on our mobile devices are inundated with images, video, text and pixelated information through the algorithm that caters to our individual accounts and search interests. In this class, we will investigate different methods for organizing, curating and interacting with information through coding our own webpages and through platforms that already exist (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc). Each class will consist of student presentations and discussions on topics not limited to design, blogging, zines, games, appropriation, memory, performance and surveillance. We will also go through Codecademy to learn the basics of HTML and CSS. This class will focus on collectivity as a resource to building a themed website, platform or zine. Projects will involve creating at least one webpage that is a part of a collective class website and one online zine that students will individually create and experiment with on their own using the platform of their choice. We will explore artists like Andrés Galeano, Hasan Elahi and Angela Washko, along with work made available online by local zine artists.
