This or similar messages were present in many of the personal website on the mid-90's. Before the templates and uniform layouts of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the way to present yourself to the world, on the nascent medium of the Internet, was to construct your own website - a homepage - your home on the Web. 
In this course we will revisit that past and learn how to publish content on Wold Wide Web, by design simple web-pages from scratch, using HTML and CSS. But since we live in 2015, we'll also explore the possibilities of current Wold Wide Web, where video, audio, maps, drawing canvas and typography open up the an exciting territory for artists or designers to work in. 


As a conductive threat that will run along these sessions, we'll take a critical look at how identities have been invented, confused, or reaffirmed in online environments. To help us think and design, we'll take a close look at art-works and interventions for the Web, as well as, services like Google-Search or Facebook, in which identity plays a central role.

Classes will take the form of an seminars where participants will explore examples, engage in discussion about issues of online identity, and for the most part learn the fundamentals of web-design. Each class will combine both expository and hands-on development of prototypes, where students will be asked to bring into practice the acquired knowledge in inventive and meaningful ways.
