Applications for this workshop have now closed.

Thinking beyond a standard artist portfolio or archive, this one-day workshop will consider what a website offers as a site for creative production. With a focus on demystifying how the web functions, participants will be introduced to the language of the internet and provided with further resources for self-development.

The first session will examine the forms and strategies for presenting work online, beginning with a focused discussion on the internet as an autonomous platform and case studies of existing projects. Following this, participants will be introduced to the mechanics of the internet, the structure of a web page and the basics of CSS and HTML. 

The workshop is open to artists, designers, curators, writers and other interested people but places are limited. To apply, please send a CV and brief statement (max. 400 words) outlining your interest in the workshop to comms@enjoy.org.nz by 5pm Sunday 22 October 2017.

Please note this workshop is free to attend and lunch will be provided. Please advise the gallery if you are unable to bring your own laptop.
