During SI26 we explored web-making as a craft (by working with html and css) and media archeology (by working with HPGL, Postscript, pen plotters and dot matrix printers).
Together with Charlie, Tessa and Eleni we overlapped these two topics for the SI project by focusing on a forgotten device from our past, we made a work for it exploiting some outdated web-standards to show-hide information from other devices (important: we did not rely on emulation for the project, we just used simple HTML, CSS and vanilla JS).
