About HTTPoetics

A website is a poem that is already in everyone's pocket, a house built from photos of other houses, a book where every chapter is another book where every chapter is another book. In HTTPoetics we study the poetics of the web: the raw material of HTML, the systemic visuals of CSS, the endless interactive possibilities of Javascript and the browsers, servers, protocols, and infrastructure that holds it all together. Each week we make websites. We make small websites that only convey a single, tiny idea. We make large websites whose clutter and convoluted interlocking pages feel like exploring an abandoned mansion. We make websites that speak, websites with secrets, and websites that tell one perfectly executed joke. And as we build the web we also learn its history from the early geocities days to the ways we tried to be fully present over the pandemic, and all the wonderful and useless websites artists have made in between.

HTTPoetics is taught by Todd Anderson with support from Tyler Yin & Kayla Drzewicki
