In the "A Vernacular Web" reading I liked it when the author discussed the culture behind the web and the change between the internet and the 90s. This person is so right because fifteen years ago on the internet we didn't have facebook, myspace, or online dating websites. These things are so popular and huge and yet so young. It's so incredible to me that this person was able to capture that idea of the change on the internet. It's something I've never even thought about.
However, for my project I have no idea what to do! The ideas we were shown in class intrigued me and certain things I would want to experiment with. I would want to do something on an interactive website such as facebook, ebay, or youtube, or any new websites that I find while working on this project. Maybe even a clothing website or service site could come out with my idea. I would love to see more examples of projects in class and keep brainstorming.
Hi Meredith,
ReplyDeleteWell, this idea of interactivity is one a lot of students seem to be interested in. I might refer you to this post in response to Harrison's comment: http://foundations3spring2012.blogspot.com/2012/03/web-intervention.html#comment-form. If you want to do some further digging, rhizome.org has a lot of different artists projects that might be worth taking a look at. You might also take a look at some of the work by Chaz Evans, a new media artist from Chicago.
