Prototyping/2025-2026/T2
Assignments
Throughout this trimester, you are asked to continuously work on the following two assignments.
File sharing prototypes
Make file sharing prototypes in response to the 5 themes we will discuss this trimester.
You can make these prototypes all together as a group, in smaller groups, or alone.
Be involved in at least 1 prototype for each theme, but you can make as many of them as you like.
Prototypes don't have to be fully finished projects (at all!). Try to keep them simple, follow your curiosities!
We will discuss and work on the prototypes during the digest sessions!
Document your prototypes XXX.
One sentence file sharing systems
Every week, we will write descriptions of possible file sharing systems together in a single file called one-sentence.txt:
https://hub.xpub.nl/sergio/SI29/file-sharing/one-sentence.txt
By writing these descriptions, we formulate the file sharing systems that we dream off, we wish for, or those kind of file systems that are a bit more speculative, raise critical questions, expose problematic sides of file sharing, etc!
We will read the new contributions to one-sentence.txt at the start of every session!
How to edit one-sentence.txt?
$ ssh sergio $ cd /var/www/html/SI29/file-sharing/ $ nano one-sentence.txt
Use CTRL+X + Y + ENTER to close nano again.
Refresh the URL (see above) to see if your contribution is added.
