Time: Monday 12:30pm – 4:20pm

Description:
The course serves as an introduction to computer programming and interaction design for visual artists. We will begin by learning how to write code as a means to create visual artwork, using Processing. In addition, we will construct physical objects that augment the traditional methods of interacting with a computer. Topics relating to interactive installations, non-traditional interfaces, microprocessors and algorithmic artwork will be explored in depth.
Prerequisite: ADA285 or AGD276
Grading:
All assignments must be completed on the due date. Assignments not handed in at all will receive an "F" grade. Assignments handed in late, without a proper excuse, will receive a grade penalty. Projects may be reworked and re-submitted, after initial critique and grading, for re-grading. Re-submission does not guarantee a higher grade.
