Let's make websites that are artworks; that are useless; that are playful.We'll explore examples of the old web and more recent works and use them alongside in-workshop discussion to create your own browser based artworkYou will not need to know anything about code going in. This won't be a deep dive into web development. It will be informal and hopefully fun.You will learn just enough to:Give a webpage a structure: headings, paragraphs, images, links (HTML).Make it look how you want: colours, fonts, layout, maybe some blinking and wiggling (CSS).Make it respond to you: things that change when you click, hover, or move your cursor around (Javascript)We'll finish the session by presenting what we’ve made to each other!Optional reading list:Dreaming of a Poetic WebThere is an internet that is mine & I would like you to live in it with meBuilding a website like it’s 1999… in 2022Net Art AnthologyMy website is a shifting house next to a river of knowledge. What could yours be?This workshop is suitable for someone who:Knows little to nothing about web design/coding.Has an artistic practice.Likes to experiment and ask questions.Likes browser based art/net art/art games.This workshop is not for someone who:Expects a formal learning environment.Wants to be a professional web developer.You will need:Laptop that connects to the internet.A web browser of your choice installed.A free neocities account (set up before you arrive).About the tutor:Anoushka Carroll has dabbled in web 1.0 web design since adolescence, and still hasn’t progressed. She most recently took part in Httpoetics at the School For Poetic Computation in January 2026. She thinks websites should be liminal and delightful third spaces to play in. She is by no means an expert and will be googling and asking claude for help.http://anoushka.rockshttp://instagram.com4n0u5hk4About New Media Art Club:New Media Art Club is a Leicester-based community interest company that explores and creates art through emerging digital technologies.
