ARTS 4090 - Art and Code and Interactivity


This course is primarily concerned with learning how to build any interactive experience or artwork from concept to completion. It will introduce open-source, cross-platform programming libraries and tools used by artists and programmers to create interactive experiences and artworks for museum installations, festivals, VJ-ing, projection mapping, interactive experiences/artworks, and more. It will then start to address the questions: Is code an art form? What is interactive art? Is software art?
