This 5-week ONLINE class will introduce students to the wide world of generative art, starting with building blocks and theory and moving towards advanced topics over the course of the month. Students will acquire methods for creating compelling artworks using algorithms and autonomous processes inspired from nature, statistics, biology, and computer science. Applications covered will include generative graphics, interactivity, and computer vision, and depending on student feedback will explore more specific areas like the Kinect, digital fabrication, and others. The class will be taught in Processing but the concepts are applicable to other languages and tools. This course is part of 2013 New York Electronic Art Festival.
