Due Wednesday Feb 27/Thursday Feb 28
Make a project in any medium that investigates networks. You should map, hack or make a network.
The project ideas listed in each category are suggestions; the
assignment can be interpreted freely. For inspiration see this weeks slide presentation,
it is organized according to the categories below. Your project should be thought of as art, but it can function as art in many different ways,
and have any type of message - poetic, personal, aesthetic, political etc. Whatever you choose to do the project should examine a network, an aspect of a network, or networks in general. You and your audience should experience networks or a network in a new way.
The project should be presented in your section on the due date. It should also be documented on a web page. Write a paragraph describing the project and add some illustration/documentation of the project. The project page should be linked from your home page.
