# Project Description A garden of one's own 𖤣 Dariga Kashkinbayeva Summary Final work College Central Saint Martins Course BA (Hons) Graphic Communication Design Graduation year 2025 Softness as Resistance In a digital world obsessed with speed and scale, this garden chooses care, slowness, and presence. It invites us to be with technology differently - not as users, but as co-creators. This is a digital garden that reimagines online space. Rooted in cyberfeminist theory and inspired by the early web, it resists corporate structures by embracing softness and community. Every idea or piece of knowledge takes the shape of a flower, offering a visual metaphor for communal growth and diverse digital identities. The garden is not designed to be finished. It grows through contributions, invites reflection, and encourages experimentation. It challenges rigid tech culture and asks: What if digital space could feel like tending a garden rather than scrolling a feed? 🌱 Visit the garden and leave your trace for others to see https://www.cybergarden.space/ Final work Garden Interaction The interaction invites visitors to explore the garden engaging with projects and ideas, discovering what other creatives are doing, and drawing inspiration. Through this playful archive, I aim to capture the experimental nature of computational practice and broaden perceptions of who can engage with technology. Intent of the project The main intent of the project is to create a space that shows that computing and coding don't always have to be rigid and serious. It can be playful, it can be unfinished, it can be silly. I want to show that coding projects are mostly exploratory and evolving. By highlighting women and gender-diverse individuals engaging with technology in creative and artistic ways, the project challenges narrow stereotypes of who a "tech person" can be. I also aim to demystify the notion that coding is a closed or exclusive skillset. By making computation more approachable, my project encourages experimentation.
