Labs/Screenings
All labs will take place Mondays in the grad tower MML (Thayer street) from 5:30-7:30).
In seminar following five labs/screenings, student groups will do presentations. These presentations will tie the technology/screening to the week's reading and state why this technology/project is interesting and pertinent to the course (what questions it raises, or what issues it responds to; how it impacts on the "archaeology" we have been developing thus far).
You must incorporate the technology covered by the lab in form of your current reading response (for example, after the javascript tutorial, your reading response site must include a javascript).
