Overview:
Remix and visualisation are powerful tools for conveying a message via digital media in a digestible format. Both genres offer an easy entry point into digital creativity through making good use of pre-existing templates.
Assessment:
Create a remix or visualisation that makes an argument about digital media(e.g. digital labour, ethics of connectivity, social media use, or so forth) using one of the following templates discussed in class:
- A Twitterbot using Cheap Bots Done Quick!
- A remix of Writing, House of Leaves of Grass, or Taroko Gorge
- A visualisation using D3.js
Through changing variables, adding new content, or mashing-up two different sources, you will demonstrate your ability to manipulate web-based languages (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) for creative means.
Submission:
Submit all relevant assets (images/sound/text/HTML)as a single zip file as part of the final submission. The exact nature of the files will depend on your choice of remix/visualisation, but this should include at minimum any source code and/or a link to the live project.
Submission Deadline:
Friday12April at midnight
Please Note: This submission will be handed in digitally via Canvas.
