Digital Project - Mashups

Catalog description

The web is brimming with continuously updated data about anything from weather, tsunamis, and earthquakes to UFO sightings, animal migration, sports, population, and the stock market, as well as user-generated information at social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. "Mashups" are applications that combine this data into something new and interesting. In the class we make mashup art using HTML5/CSS, JavaScript and Perl, that combine and manipulate real time data while investigating our world of data.
