Projects

I recently completed the Web Design Program at Sheridan College, and on the night of our grad show remembered the Hypercard project I did as part of “Introduction to Computers” at NSCAD back in the spring of 1997. Given that Hypercard was in many way a precursor to the web, I wanted to revisit this project as a document of my proto-web work.

I recall doing this very last minute, and at the time I was listening to a lot of Beethoven, so the project was a quick walk through complete with a sound sample of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony taken from the cassette I removed from my Walkman.

The teacher gave me an A.

I recovered this project on 15 May 2012 using a USB diskette reader and the BasiliskII Mac emulator.The cards are presented in a looping sequence:

1) Ludwig van
2) The Skull
3) The Hand
4) The Ear
5) Deafness
6) [back to Ludwig Van and Play his 5th]
