Digital




 The Living Web Institute is a collective for internet artists, designers, and digital practitioners cultivating an internet filled with life. We are committed to uncovering the vibrancy that exists across the span of the digital ecosystem, and fostering public spaces that are experimental, inspiring, and resistant.

In collaboration with many, including Kristoffer Tjalve, Elliot Cost, Chia Amisola, and Jisu Lee.

 This digital garden is a home for my unfiltered notes, thoughts and ideas. It is not a blog. It is where I learn in public. It is currently in prototype.

I put together this spreadsheet as a living resource for websites and digital places that reignite feelings of joy, excitement and curiosity while exploring the internet. Somewhere along the road, corporations and recommendation algorithms made the internet feel loud and unescapable. I like to think of the internet as a place where you can build a digital home that feels right for you.

Where did all the microsites go?

As a kid, I used to love exploring the Internet. It felt like a game of “what is the most bizarre, interesting, funny website that I can find?”

With the rise of social media and recommendation algorithms, and the death of web hosting services like Geocities, the Internet changed. I think many of us are sensing this “sameness” of the the current web, as more folks are drawn to websites like Are.na. I wonder what place folk programming has in the next era of the Internet.

Hieroglyphic (from the Greek word for “sacred carving”) refers to a system of writing consisting of pictoral characters as symbols for objects and sounds. Originally, "hieroglyphic" referred exclusively to Egyptian monument writing. However, since the late 19th century, the term has been extended to encompass the writing systems of other cultures, provided they utilize pictorial symbols as writing characters.
