HTML, hypertext markup language is the 'language' of the internet HTML is
responsible for the structuring the content of the site. CSS, cascading
style sheets are the code which works together with HTML and determines the
'style' of the page. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce these
notions and learn how to use them to build/update/customize a website/blog.
If you have a specific request, question, or problem you are facing, you are
encouraged to come. We will try to shape the workshop according the
different skill levels and specific desires of participants.

Workshop D at HUMlab, the Glass room

*Interactive Dolls and Robots - Varvara Guljajeva *

Building and hacking dolls and robots, learning how to control a motor
within a doll, soldering and prototyping.

Maximum 7 participants!


Workshop E at HUMlab, the Glass room

*Vocabulaboratories - Manuela Zechner *

How do we speak about what we do and what role does self-representation play
in our (working) lives? When are words and discourses important to us, and
when do we need to escape them? In this 3-hour workshop we will try to share
both our poetics and our strategies around representation. We'd like to work
on departing from the well trodden paths of our individual and collective
professional vocabularies, and instead try to openly speak about the desires
and problems that come with representing ourselves and our work to others.

This workshop will be held on Thursday as well.
