Location: Zoom & Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, CFA-111
Professor: Golan Levin, School of Art & IDeATe Program
Electronic Media Studio: Interactivity and Computation (60-212) is a practical introduction to the use of programming and computation within the context of the arts. In this “intromediate” level course, students develop or deepen the skills and confidence to produce interactive, generative, and computational artworks; discuss their work in relation to current and historic praxes of computer art; and engage new technologies critically. This is a “studio art course in computer science”, in which our objective is art and design, but our medium is student-written software. Through rigorous programming exercises, students will develop mastery over the basic vocabulary of constructs that govern static, dynamic, and interactive form, with the aim of applying these skills to problems in creative explorations of transmediality, connectivity, generativity, and immersivity.
