Hotglue
2009 - ongoing
Hotglue is the codename for an ongoing collaboration with Danja Vasiliev. Based on his earlier prototypes, we are developing a “content manipulation system” that should allow for easy, yet expressive, web design.
An issue we see with many contemporary web publishing mechanisms (e.g. WordPress) is that the content is in no way related to the actual layout and design. Reusable design has made a significant portion of the web a monotonous landscape. We want to provide a technical alternative to this. Hotglue forces the user to freely arrange text, images and video elements directly in the browser window. This brings users back to the notion of collage, and radical what-you-see-is-what-you-get.
