This is an advanced studio course in arts-computing and new media practice. Topics surveyed in the course will be tailored to student interests, and may include: experimental interface design, information visualization, game design, real-time audiovisuals, locative and mobile media, computational form-generation, image processing and vision-based interactions, augmented reality, simulation, networked crowd-sourcing, dynamic typography, mechatronic and device art, physical computing, and other topics. Through a small number of exploratory assignments and a public capstone project, students will bolster interdisciplinary problem-solving abilities and explore computation as a medium for curiosity-driven experimentation.

Enrolling students are expected to have demonstrable programming skills, without exception, at or beyond the level of an introductory class such as 15-110. Although the course will provide technical overviews of major arts-engineering toolkits (including Processing, Max/MSP/Jitter, openFrameworks, PureData, Cinder, and Arduino), assignments may be executed in the student’s preferred programming environment. Graduate students should register for section 51-482 (12 units), which meets with the undergraduate sections 60-412, 51-482, and 62-726 (10 units). Students lacking the programming skills for this course are encouraged to take Computing for the Arts with Processing with James Roberts (48-257, 60-257, 51-257, 51-757) and/or Computing for Live Performance with Max/MSP/Jitter with Eric Singer (54-521, 57-421, 60-421).
