Neocities Coding Night - Build your own Digital Garden

Hosted with Roos Groothuizen from .zip(online)

To hell with boring-ass brainrot scrolling on Instagram, let’s handcode our own sites again, filled with cool pictures, funny texts and cute games. Did you know that’s really easy??

Every month artists and creatives get together at .zip (Rotterdam) to work on their personal sites with HTML, CSS and Javascript. Sickhouse is joining in as a location. We will be connected via a screen :) When we get stuck on difficult coding challenges, we have each other to help out. At the end of the night, we’ll show off our pages, and join each other’s ‘webrings’.

Special guest Kiara Jouhanneau will talk about her ongoing research and the connection between magical thinking, web craft and rabbit holing — and how they can counter online fascism and homogenisation.
