Life in 256KB: a workshop about data footprints and the solar web – Gray Area Festival Workshop
For this workshop, we’ll walk through real-world cases that have involved tiny data limitations and explore projects that have focused on having smaller footprints and/or powered by solar energy. Then, we’ll explore resources and strategies for front-end / content-focused optimization and design. Finally, attendees will have a data budget of 256kb each to make a solar-friendly website. Participants have the option to group up to pool data resources for more complex ideas.
This workshop is part of the Gray Area Festival 2024.
Marking Gray Area Festival’s 10th anniversary, Gray Area 10 continues our annual survey of culture through the lens of creative practice, featuring a conference, performances, and workshops.
