Developing a Buzz
Networking, Press and Reviews for Artists
Completed, Updated December 5, 2008, WikiSpecifically, this course is to help students develop a project, get more connected - socially and technologically - and promote a project successfully - developing a buzz, getting press and reviews. Through the study of development, networking and publicity there will be an on-line (Internet-based/virtual) and an off-line (physical) emphasis threaded throughout the semester. The study of development will begin the course with a discussion of a student's selected project's goals, how to achieve them (development model, fund raising and grant writing), and planning a road map. The participants will then be taught how to set up a web domain (example:www.YOURPROJECTNAME.org), and then put up a basic web site, e-mail accounts, mailing list, blog, and a Wiki.

- Let's Hack
Down and Dirty Problem Solving
Proposal, Updated December 5, 2008Publicly, "Hacking" stereotypically represents an evil deed committed by young "script kiddies" trying to harm other people's computers, fraudulently seeking passwords in order to steal money. While these weak descriptions are continually perpetuated, this course will teach the art of hacking: down and dirty problem solving by providing a general historical overview of hacking and its intersection with art. It more importantly will focus on how to use hacking in one's own art practice to quickly solve problems; the ethical and conceptual issues surrounding related topics will also be explored. Please Note: this course will not only present software-based hacking but other forms such as social and hardware hacking. Related projects by Critical Art Ensemble, Bureau of Inverse Technology and Electronic Civil Disobediance will be presented and built upon.
- World Wide Web Workshop
Proposal, Updated December 5, 2008This workshop's primary goal is to empower each participant to construct basic standards compliant web-based media directed towards predefined goals. The course starts at the very beginning with the most fundamental concepts of the World Wide Web which are built upon throughout the workshop. These concepts are explored through direct hands-on construction of simple web pages with HTML markup for content and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual style, both written in a standard text editor. Next, participants learn how to wield Javascript, a lightweight public standard scripting language, to activate web content, check forms, and build basic on-line applications. Finally, simple database concepts and implementations are explored as a means to store, retrieve, and edit large quantities of data using the PHP programming language, file-based databases, and MySQL binary databases.
