๐Ÿ“œ Course Description

The capstone creative coding course runs in parralel with the written dissertation and final interactive art project. Students will document and contextualize examples from their programming experience and integrate them into a catalogue of creative code patterns. In addition, we will build state-of-the-art systems from the ground up and learn to leverage advanced tools for artistic purposes, in support of their practical projects. The course aims to complement the requirements of the dissertation and final project, empowering students to expand their creative potential and technical expertise.
