“A woven word web of our own / AWWWOOO,” a workshop led by Alice Yuan Zhang

The UC San Diego Department of Visual Arts ranks among the world’s leading art schools. Founded on the principle that the production, critical analysis and history of art are inter-related activities, we offer undergraduate and graduate programs in both art practice and art history. Our students have the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in the sciences, engineering, literature, music, philosophy, ethnic studies and all the vast initiatives and resources of the greater university.

How might it feel to be in a digital network together, but outside the fraught domains of Big Tech? What stories would we tell one another if we could store them on our own terms? This workshop explores the intimate canvas of a local network through a joint exercise in creative writing and server hosting. Learn to make a web page, use the terminal, write with others, and weave a networked narrative. Participants will become familiar with the basic components of networking by making and feeling a web that is literally there in the room. It’s an accessible and intimate approach that aspires to open up critical questions regarding data governance, decentralization, digital commons, safety, and energy use, and empower participants to experiment with further acts of digital solidarity.Participants are invited to bring their own laptops. No prior coding experience is necessary.Image Credit: Alice Yuan Zhang, AWWWOOO Flyer, 2023<a href="https://mandevilleartgallery.ucsd.edu/events/index.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://mandevilleartgallery.ucsd.edu/events/index.html</a>
