@anasalter.bsky.social[email protected] and I are about to run our Critical Making workshop at @scholarslab.bsky.social at UVA! We'll be playing with Twine, Tracery, and P5.js while thinking about material interfaces and the impact agentic AI tools have on these platforms. anastasiasalter.net/unmaking/wor... #dhmakes
