Web Programming in Flash

In-Class Presentations

Throughout the class, we will be looking at WWW-based work which ustilizes programminig in some significant way, and each member of the class will present a synopsis and critique of a WWW site and will lead a class-wide discussion of the site. We will start this process in week 4. Sites should be chosen from then sources I have listed below (or other sites can be presented in class, as long as you clear them with me first). I am specifically asking you to critique www sites primarily intended to be artworks (I use this term in a very loose sense) which are made specifically for the Web, not design company portfolio pages, commercial sites, etc. There are doubtlessly many other sources of good on-line exhibitions, etc. that I don't list here - please let me know of your additions to my list, and I will gladly consider adding them! But, the sites you choose must come from one the sources below. The process will happen in two stages:

First, mail me with a list of at least five, and no more than ten "favorites" that you have found from the sources below. As there as so many sites to look at, this will allow your classmates to look through a list of what you consider to be the most interesting sites you have found. This is due in week 4.

Second, by week 6, you must choose a site to present to the class, and be ready to lead a discussion/critique. From week 6 through week 9 or 10 we will be doing 2 or 3 presentations each day. Before each presentation, each person in the class must look over the site, and prepare notes on it for our discussion.

Here is the Site-list of sources to choose your presentations from.

Email me (sdecker@artic.edu) with the site you have chosen. Also, include a preferred date to present.
