== Your city in the browser ==
In the second quarter of Design & Technique will be focus on presenting the '''''behind the scenes'' of your intervention and research on a square from the city of Rotterdam''', through the web, to the the world. In other words, you will ''record'' fragments of your intervention – the images, sounds, history, reactions, thoughts and dreams about this square – and explore ways to present them online, so that the user gains a sense of the place and of your intervention.
This document of your intervention can consist in:
* documentation: a "recording" of the intervention that register something that happened only in a specific moment;
* a window on to the process that led to your intervention - photos, archive searches, interviews.
* part of the intervention: a tool, interface or guide to the invention
Building on the knowledge and experience acquired in quarter one, you will be encourage to create interactive works. Outcomes can take any form, from animated drawings, interactive maps, generative image, audio-visual works, or data visualizations.
