Progress

first sketch

Simple structure

Using display: flex
  1. Shrinking the browser window randomly removes words from the sentence, one by one, in correspondence with the reduced pixel count.
  2. Expanding the window brings words back, also randomly, reconstructing the sentence into a new structure each time.

Do tigers melt like butter in the forest?

How I want to develop it

  • I'm envisioning a kind of storybook that users can save the screens they like in the browser. once they're done, they can export them as a multi-paged pdf file containing all the screens they've saved in the browser. even print them out in the end.
  • Inspired by The House of Dust by Alison Knowles, I imagined adding random words as the browser window extends, rather than simply re-aligning previous words in the sentence as I did on my initial sketch.

  1. A button(or a key) that allows users to save the current state of the browser window --not to the local computer, but within the browser itself.
  2. Another button/key would then enable users to export these saved states as a PDF file, allowing them to print out each saved version of the browser window in chronological order.

To do

Code to work 1

▲workflow
I made the first sketch by using an ai chatbot but I want to write the code without it from the beginning.

Code to work 2

▲with Doriane's help
try with the simplest approach to structuring html/java script, and richer iterations in CSS



For CSS drawing, following analysis is needed:

  • identify the basic structure and elements of the sentence
  • define the possible permutational variables
↳ structure these permutational variables in a way that CSS can correspond
plus, I’d like to try incorporating the theatre metaphor from ‘Why CSS is so weird’ into the work:
regarding the browser window as a stage and apply the sentence analysis and structure accordingly.

do auxiliary verb check for action ??
tigers noun agenct object

like preposition comparison standard condition modifier?
butter noun comparison target(object) object
