Welcome to lab.smashcast.org, part of SMASH's Creative & Interactive Media Lab. This site serves as both a community platform and a classroom resource. We explore the various uses of interactive media on the web, and experiment with its applications in our community.
Here you will find samples of the work we produce in the lab, as well as helpful links for creating graphics, websites, animations, video games and much more. We'll highlight the innovative ideas that arise in this course as we experiment with online digital media.
