A Webpage/Pageless Presentation Design Workshop
Slide decks, slideshows, and PowerPoints are tied to a time when content was static and contained in finite pages. We navigated through content by moving from slide to slide, page to page; we had to turn the page or hit ‘next’. But now we have websites and digital media. Not only has content evolved drastically, but so has the way that we can interact with this content on a screen. Webpage presentations fit in with today’s visual culture. Today, we can present content in a way that matches how we naturally view and experience the world.
Join Rachel ‘Win’ Winchester for an immersive workshop that will revolutionize the way you approach presentations. If you caught “Death to Slide Decks” last year, you’re in for a treat – this workshop kicks off with Version 2 of the webpage presentation, refined through Win’s extensive experiences at over a dozen events.
Participants will begin crafting their presentations during the workshop using platforms like WordPress, Elementor, Google Docs, or graphic design software such as Figma, Adobe, and Illustrator.
Benefit from Win’s expertise even after the workshop, receiving feedback to elevate your presentation to the next level. Send her the webpage or doc, or send her a recording of yourself giving your presentation. She’ll respond with helpful feedback for improvement.

Internet Art Then & Now
Coming in Spring 2024
As we venture into the future, we lean on history. The original Internet Artists, or Net Artists, working in the early 1990s, created artworks using the internet. Before the New York Times got online, artists like Mark Amerika, Olia Lialina, and JODI were using the internet as their artistic medium (demos included). For them, the internet was a new frontier – novel and unexplored. But, this was before WordPress and before most of us were truly aware of the internet and its capabilities. Newer tools like full-site editor provide a true no-code experience to website creators everywhere. Now, more people have the opportunity to create online and actively participate in the internet landscape. Plus, everyone can start an internet company and create internet art.
But what do we actually do once we rediscover the original Internet Artists? We learn from their innovation and fearless approach to new technologies. Artificial Intelligence is a new dilemma for artists of all kinds, especially those already working in tech. These trailblazers offer us invaluable lessons in innovation and a fearless approach to embracing new technologies, in particular, Artificial Intelligence (AI). By examining the pioneering spirits of the original Internet Artists, we uncover a wellspring of creativity, adaptability, and resilience that can empower today’s artists to harness the potential of AI.
