MEETING 2 NOTES

What is the next step in this process?

Individual and group goals

Samantha:
Developing site architecture. Experience of working on web.

Rob:
Learning new programing language (RUBY). Collaboration.

Sebastian: Learning Ruby. Exploring participation architecture.

Romy: Experience of working on web.

Eric N: ?

Andrew: Learning Ruby. Exploring participation architecture.

Group:

  • document the process of making an exhibition online.
  • how can the website operate as part of the exhibition and not just as collateral

Some questions based on themes

  1. TIME and PEOPLE

  • Date stamp can be the backbone of the site

  • Reveal the process of making the site through time

  • Incorporate a newsfeed to acknowledge the moment and culture i.e. NY Times feed on site based on individual preferences

  • Student community vs. larger community

  • We should differentiate between the two

  • We assign different roles to different
    users

  • How much transparency?

  • How much of our work do we want to share? Distribute? Circulate?

  • Possibilities: downloads, webcam, forum

  • Can anyone alter the site? and change each interaction thereafter? (how to treat revisions)

gift as a type of module
work as a type of module
writing as a type of module
knowledge as a type of module

  1. PARTS VS. WHOLE (Group vs. Individual)

  • Only the most recent is immediately revealed.

  • Constructed in parts, in real-time
    Use of white space to segment vs.
    create a cohesive whole

  • Dynamic content vs. static

  1. TEXT vs. IMAGE
    primary navigation
