What I was trying to play with here:

  • Implementing accessibility features that I have long forgotten to in my work online. Some I've implement here are contrast change, font change, font size change and of course alt text. Alt Text as Poetry [1] was a specifically relevant source here.
  • Trying to build a more light-weight website. I used Image Magick to apply a ditering effect while preserving the colour of the image. This is the code I used:
magick convert "input file location.jpg/png" -resize 540 -gravity South -extent 540 -colorspace RGB -ordered-dither o8x8 "output file location.jpg/png" 
  • I also wanted to have a double scroll view where the images and text are separate. Just as a point of people being able to interact differently with the information given and form connections in a less linear way.

The user page can be found here for now [2]

Abandoned Strike Page

I made a kind of magic 8 ball strike page, which would generate strike ideas when clicked on. This was abandoned quickly, mostly because I didn't not have too much time to put in different ideas of striking the cloud that I thought would resonate with the rest. I made the little prototype mostly thinking that we need to find playful ways in which we can resist these infrastructure that feels so all-encompassing and big.
The little prototype can still be found here: https://hub.xpub.nl/chopchop/~senak/stike-ideas.html
