What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Learning goals: To get introduced to SVG documents, Inkscape and SVGpanandzoom.js. To gain the understanding that information is content AND structure. To raise the awareness of platform politics and interface criticism that is to me , crucial within the context of web literacy and culture. To collaboratively work and reflect on new ideas around interfacing online information, and beeing able to see the search interface as a site for web literacy exploration. Practical outcome: Browser based artworks.Navigable collaborative documents.

Curious about how this session would be structured as a Youth Zone session - is the big idea to capture participants' subjective, imaginative maps of the Internet or to make art about connections between different platforms? Are there other ways to make and share the art besides SVG?

Would fit better as a session than as an All Weekend event, I'm not sure Web Literacy has the resources to provide machines for that length of time. That noted, also curious to see how this session will accommodate non-technical attendees, given it's technical focus.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a session to MozFest.

Due to the high level of submissions, we’re unable to accept all proposals and unfortunately, your session was not part of the final group.
