We will explore themes through readings, discussion, and film that address the public, chaotic, and political space that is the internet. Students will be challenged to not only conceptualize, but execute culturally-relevant web-based applications using professional tools in order to comment on, critique, or celebrate online culture to challenge our understanding of the web and its possibilities. The technologies and skills this course introduces allows for alternating themes of game design, data visualization, and mobile application development.
