Simultaneously an editorial microsite and a virtual "digital garden." Hand coded in HTML/CSS and Javascript.

Have You Eaten Today? is a prototype designed for my partner and I, enduring a long distance relationship. The website focuses on our shared love language of food. We both used to sit side-by-side, pretending to order off the menu of our favorite restaurant.

The idea is that the both of us would pretend to order off of a randomly generated menu (idea is that it changes each day). The items come from real restaurants that we've been to. In a fully built version, the user would generate a random composition based on their selections. The composition acts as a waiting room, allowing the user to draw on a receipt (also one of our silly "traditions"). Once the loading bar has reached 100%, the user can visit an "archive" of all the compositions and drawings that were created.

Desktop (Archive) is an interactive web piece, with the desktop serving as a springboard for me to question the desktop metaphor, traditional forms of archiving, the thorny history of institutional collections, the authority of the document, oral traditions, and text-to-speech or alternative text as an opportunity to publish and make public.

I originally began this web project with the intention of questioning and disrupting the desktop metaphor, but I ended up focusing on the written content. With that being said, I still intend on disrupting the desktop as part of this ongoing project.
