This is the repository for the collaborative glossary of the New Media Theory(ies), Art, and Practice class.

The glossary is constantly improved by the CART210 community throughout the term, with three sprint deadlines.

Each student must:

• define the concept in their own words, with precision and conciseness
• cite their sources of information in strict Chicago author-year format. Three references minimum per entry, and two of them must be from academic sources (i.e., book, article, or conference paper). Add your bibliographic entry at the end of the list, in the right alphabetic order.
• provide links in the form of internal references to other terms in the glossary
• provide links to external references in the form of HTTP links

• add the terms chosen as individual files inside the keywords folder of this repository
• if using the GitHub UI, contributors can create new files as shown in the image

• name each keyword file in lowercase and use the file extension .md (Markdown), as shown below

• add the details of the term they are working on using strict Markdown syntax. The keyword title should be in Heading 2 (## The term) and the rest in plain markdown
• citations must be added in the same markdown file, as shown below

When committing your changes, add a meaningful message (e.g., ”Fix: Typo in the description.”, ”Add: New definition from Steyerl, H. (2016).”)

• To add images to the repo you must fork the repository into your own account:

and then,

• Once you have a fork of the repo in your account, you have full control of your copy
• add images to the images folder of this repository

When committing your changes, add a meaningful message (e.g., ”Add: Visual collage for virtuality.”

By default, you don't have access to make changes to the main branch of this repository. Therefore, when doing a commit you must choose Create a new branch for this commit as seen in the image:

And then, Create a pull request to the main branch of this repository:

So far, you have just uploaded your image to the repository. To be displayed, the image has to be linked from your keyword file.

For example, if I want to display the image I made for the keyword virtual-environment, I will add the following line to the file virtual-environment.md located inside the keywords folder:

![Virtual environment](images/virtualenvironment-vigliensoni.png)

That link will display this image:

To create links to other entries you have to create a hyperlink using the Markdown format. Use relative linking for this.

For example, if you want to create links for the entries Github, Wiki, and Affordance, you add the following Markdown syntax:

[GitHub](../main/glossary.md#GitHub), [Wiki](../main/glossary.md#wiki), [Affordance](../main/glossary.md#affordance)

That code will be rendered as:

GitHub, Wiki, Affordance
