SESSION
GIFs Are Forever, Let’s Make Them Better!
PixelPalooza will explore all the ways we, as developers, can leverage media like images, video, audio and documents across our sites and applications.
What if, as we careen forward in embracing new technologies, we forget the rich cultural heritages that make life colorful, diverse, and enjoyable? Rejecting the Luddite’s anti-technology violence, can we envision a world where technology might be put into the service of preserving artisan material culture, rather than erasing it? In this session, we’ll explore an intersection of technology and artisanship by studying the special case of the artisan textile as a literal web that connects old and new, artisan and engineer, poet and scientist.
