Creative coding is the coding for aesthetics - we use programming languages to create pieces of art. During this workshop we will reveal how code can be used to create pieces of art. We will look how art can be coded in such languages as Python and JavaScript and try it on practice to understand what generative art is, how to perform with live coding (code both video and sound) and even how neural networks can be used in arts
The course will question / open up the topics / etc
- what is creative coding?
- (how) can art be generated by a machine?
- where is the point when artist becomes a coder and coder becomes an artist?
Intensive research will follow the steps:
- what is creative coding
- history of using code for art
- generative art
- live coding
- ai in arts
Outcomes
Students will get acquainted with most popular creative coding approaches and frameworks.
