About this Event
How could small acts of tending to the internet connect us to the world?
In the same way that growing our own gardens can help us to understand our place in the ecosystem, and connect us to the earth, personal website creation and hosting can help us to reflect on our place in the ecosystem of technology.
Together we will create our own low-tech online ‘allotments’. Rather than being centralised like most websites, these will run locally like personalised digital gardens.
People with no coding knowledge or experience are welcome and encouraged! What will you share?
Spaces are limited so please register in advance.
This workshop is for people aged 18+
About Harriet:
Harriet is a creative software engineer interested in the material reality of how tech is made, and making tech better for humans. They make interactive art, tools and apps that aim to delight and inspire people. They are currently working on interactive poems, and the surprising results of small acts of cultivation, which will be grown on a personal web server. They co-run Queer Tech Bristol Meet-up a monthly meet-up for queers who work with technology, to make space for radical, empowering and nurturing conversation (and also just chilling out and chatting)
