Digital Humanities 124: Critical Histories of Computing and the Internet
Translation of one of Susan Kare’s pixel rabbit sketches as menu for student website
Tracing the history of graphical interface design from Xerox PARC to the Apple Macintosh, this GitHub project by undergraduate student Harvey Nguyen profiles designer Susan Kare and then translates one of her pixel-based icon sketches back into the physical world by hand-embroidering a 16×32-pixel grid onto fabric to explore the relationship between digital design and textile craft.
