Introduces foundational concepts of computational media art, focusing on the use of computational processes for the creation of interactive and generative experiences. Students use data and mathematical procedures to generate images, express ideas, and create meaning. Offers students an opportunity to obtain practice-based experience with the benefits and limitations of using computational processes, reflecting on what computers can and cannot do well. Uses computational procedures and concepts such as automation, recursion, and data processing for creative purposes. Students create computational media projects using code and/or other media such as photography, video, performance, installation, etc.
