Uxquisite Corpse is a web development workshop inspired by the Surrealist art practice Exquisite Corpse, where artists would take turns drawing on a section of a piece of paper, folded so that each artist could only see their section and not the others' while drawing. An Uxquisite Corpse is a website where the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript have all been written by different people who were blind to what the others were writing.

In this workshop, we'll choose a set of shared IDs and classnames which we'll use to coordinate our code, then each person will write either HTML, CSS, or JavaScript with those IDs and classnames in mind, and afterwards we'll plug together different combinations of people's work to see what fun effects emerge.
