Project One
Autobiography
Create an ABC styled autobiography using Barthes' text as model.
Your autobiography will have alphabetized entries. You do not need to include a term for every letter of the alphabet; however, you must use most letters.
Your autobiography must be at least 3,000 words. It can be in print or put on the Web.

Project Two
Transform your autobiography from the first project into a cyborgography.
A cyborgography requires

  • Expression of self
  • Expression of self through code
    Your cyborgography is not a narrative of your self (this is where I was born, etc). Instead, you experiment with code in order to demonstrate your sense of self.
    In order to construct your cyborgography, your project must use

  • HTML
    and should use at least one of the following
  • javascript
  • dhtml (make sure it works in Mozilla)
  • Cascading Style Sheets
    An additional option:
  • Flash
