The aim of the course is to redesign and to update the website of the GMU. This includes discussion on structuring the content and work on the new content. Students in the course will be introduced to server side systems/applications (Unix, Apache, MySQL), "front end" programming/CMS (Typo 3, HTML, PHP, Java Script) and content (website structure, writing). The work on content and programming will be supervised by tutors.

'''interactive web art'''
 
– the content is randomly generated and seemingly irrational
 
– form and content cannot be divided/the website is part of the art, it is the information (even when it’s twisted)/the medium is the message ?

see: graph theory wikipedia for interesting structures
 
 
How to navigate at the New York Times Webpage?
Better google the information you are looking for!
 
We came to the conclusion that the official MIT site is even more complicated than the Bauhaus site. Does that mean the more complicated it gets, the more sophisticated is the enterprise ?!
 
 
'''looking at the Bauhaus University site'''
 
– How many clicks do I need to get to specific content?
(six clicks at least to get to GMU student works..)
 
– How do I know what the GMU ''is'' and what people are doing there ?
(How many clicks..)
 
– What is to be done ?

Freenetproject network visualisation

Lecturer: Mindaugas Gapševičius
Tutors: Hasibullah Sahibzada, Marco Schröder, Azucena Sanchez Credits: 6 ECTS, 4 SWS
Date: Mondays/flexible 17:00 - 20:00
Venue: Marienstraße 7b, Room 204
First meeting: Monday, 11th of April 17:00 - 20:00


Although we all use computers and the Internet on a daily basis, we act in most cases as consumers. This is valid for creative people who work with computers, especially visual artists and designers. With the "(In) visible Networks" we will question other side of the networks: How data is transferred between computers? Why does the Internet require different types of machines? What is the role of servers and personal computers within the networks? What makes our data or our networks insecure? How to structure the website so visitors find the information?

The conceptual goals of this project include the comparison and reflection of different network structures (e.g. hierarchical structures, decentralized structures, oriented to Web 2.0, etc.).

The aim of the course is to redesign and to update the website of the GMU. This includes discussion on structuring the content and work on the new content. Students in the course will be introduced to server side systems/applications (Unix, Apache, MySQL), "front end" programming/CMS (Typo 3, HTML, PHP, Java Script) and content (website structure, writing). The work on content and programming will be supervised by tutors.
