Control and Freedom website 

Control and Freedom development website  http://www.controlandfreedom.net 

STG lead(s): Elli Mylonas

STG, working with two students who did the lion's share of the work, implemented a website that mirrored the structure of Wendy Chun's Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics, and presented the introduction of each chapter in a meaningful and innovative manner. Despite its use of special effects, this whole website conforms to web accessibility standards.  

Wendy Chun's Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics (MIT Press, 2006) examines the relationship of control and freedom in the way we think of networks and the internet. She wanted an electronic companion to accompany her book to appear at the same time. The website consists of a limited portion of the book, provocatively presented so as to invite the reader to interact with and think about the subject matter of the book.
