Oops you found a glitch - HTML workshop

Phreaking

Revive 'dead' Glitch.com sites by reverse engineering thumbnails to rebuild broken URLs from scratch using simple HTML/CSS.

Copeland Gallery

When web-hosting company Glitch.com shut down overnight, dozens of playful self-made sites from our past workshops vanished, replaced by the error screen “Well. You found a glitch.” All that remains are tiny thumbnail previews we rescued onto an Are.na board, like digital fossils of a lost web. In this hands-on session, we’ll revive those dead pages: Decode the previews: inspect colours, layouts, images and GIFs to reverse-engineer each site’s vibe. Re-build from scratch: use HTML, CSS and basic JavaScript This workshop is suitable for beginners to intermediate coding! Make sure to bring your laptop to turn lost internet rubble into a fresh, living webpage, and leave with your own ‘undead’ URL to share.Organised by Phreaking Collective as part of an series of talks and workshops accompanying BitRot, an exhibition exploring the fragility, decay, and obsolescence of our digital age. Taking its name from the slow degradation of digital files over time, Bit Rot stages a post-human reflection on the technologies that once promised progress and the lives they now leave behind.All events hosted by Phreaking will be completely free of charge. We've set up a gofundme to assist with the production costs: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/bitrot-exhbition/donate" title="https://www.gofundme.com/f/bitrot-exhbition/donate" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/f/bitrot-exhbition/donate</a>
