P5.consent: Can we share your portfolio?

Earn one more point in the Programs category of the course score by filling out this survey. We want to know what we're allowed to do with your portfolio documents. You earn your point for any choices to make here -- this is organized as a survey on Canvas.

Why should I consent to sharing my portfolio documents? We'd like to give others the chance to be impressed by the breadth of hybrid-artistic-technical work done in this class. One of your projects might be just the inspiration someone else needs (borrowing visual ideas or maybe even code) to complete a project that is important to them.

What format will they be shared in? Adam's plan is to break the portfolio documents into individual project pages (deleting any extra title pages) and then build a new document by randomly shuffling the projects together. We'll try to include projects from willing participants as they can.

Where will they be shared? The distribution of your projects depends on your level of consent. In the ideal case, Adam will be able to share your work back to some of the generative artists that have been inspiring us Twitter this quarter.

Will they be shared anonymously? We asked you not to include personally identifying information in your document, but many of you decided to include a big title page with your name anyway. We'll extract just the project pages. We know (and hopefully you do too) that your public Glitch projects are linkable to your Glitch account and that many of your have named your Glitch accounts/profiles in ways that are linked to your current real name. It's too late to change your project links now (the link is baked into the pdf), but you can still edit the project being linked. You might decide to rename your old projects, create a new Glitch account under a pseudonym, and then copy the contents of your old projects into the new account, making sure to keep the project name the same as it used to be. If this sounds too tricky, you might simply decide to opt out of sharing your projects for now (you can always personally share them on your own later).

Why is this a graded survey? We want you to get practice explicitly thinking through when and where your work is shared with others in the wild.
