I finally got around to uploading the Processing project I completed a while ago in my Workshop class. My project goal was to create a navigable landscape, randomizing as many parameters as possible. You can play with the interactive version here.

At Project New Media Literacies, we’re collaborating with Harvard’s GoodPlay Project on an ethics casebook to address the special ethical issues that arise in the online world. GoodPlay has identified five different ethical areas, but at the moment, we are working on activities that explore credibility and how it is assessed and developed online.

One of the courses we are required to take in my grad program is a Workshop, where we learn a basic variety of media production skills to supplement all our book-learnin’.

So far, we’ve done some work in Processing, creating computational art (which I will put up here once I get it working on my new computer), made a personal page in html (you’re on it), and for our most recent project, we worked as a class to make an online version of a book.

The book chosen for us was Des Imagistes, a collection of imagist poems edited by Ezra Pound that rarely circulates, and wasn’t online! We made a pretty neat online version that just we just finished up this morning. So check it out, and read some poems!
