Company: York University
Location: Toronto, ON
To lead a lab that extends the concepts and techniques introduced in DATT 2400 Creative Coding I. Topics addressed will include: working in three dimensions, object-oriented programming, selecting and using algorithms and libraries, and computer simulations of natural systems. Course projects will be developed in a contemporary creative coding environment such as Processing or P5.js but concepts explored will transfer to a range of development environments. Processing will be used as the environment for this course.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course, students will be able to:
• address contemporary aesthetic and conceptual concerns at an intermediate level through creative code-based art work creation
• employ concepts involving three dimensional space to systems and environments
• apply strategies and techniques for selecting and integrating algorithms and libraries into creative projects
• produce creative code based projects that are modelled on natural systems
• evaluate the range of ways that artists integrate software into their processes.
