At each session participants will develop simple prototypes that put into practice the subject presented. And as a long term goal participants will be asked to create an experimental browser-based work, that can be anything but a typical webpage. Possible outcomes might take the form of browser-based generative posters, VJing tools, a sound sampler or synthesizers, animations, to mention just a few examples.

The participation in this course it is important for the following kwartaal' s course dedicate to Hybrid Publishing, where participants will be introduced to methods for creating a publication with multiple outputs.
