Content

Theme: Digital Creativity
Appointment: Mo. 14:00-16:00
First Appointment: 15.04.2024
Location: Frauenlobstr 7A, Room 357

Artists and creatives have always dealt with contemporary technologies and their use in the context of art, music and design. Creative Coding is therefore concerned with the creative possibilities that digital technologies, algorithms and programming languages offer to reach new forms of expression, but also to explore the medium and discover new facets in it. Over the course of the semester, new artistic concepts are implemented and experimented on a weekly basis.

Basics in the Java programming language are required for the course. During the course, all projects will be implemented with Processing

The aim of the event is an exhibition curated by the students of their own generative and algorithmic works.
