Week 8 (Oct 8) – Initial presentation of generative artwork – Updated!
Presentation
Initial presentation of generative artwork, discussion and consultations.
Present your idea development, first sketches and tests for your generative art project.
Lecture
Hardware Tools for Generative Art Overview.
A quick overview of popular hardware for generative new media art and design such as compact, open-source 2D and 3D printers, interactive input/tracking devices such as Leap Motion, Kinect and Intel RealSense, physical computing platforms such as Arduino and Intel Galileo, and systems on a chip such as Raspberry Pi. Their usage scopes, trade-offs, learning resources and strategies. You will be or already are experimenting with some of these devices to facilitate generative processes and interaction.
More pertinent to your work in this phase of generative art learning, research and project development are the examples of generative art projects and artists for your comparison and inspiration.
Please take a look at the following section with exemplar set of generative artworks and artists, short documentaries and resources which will be useful to all of you.
Enjoy, but be careful as browsing through all this can be time consuming.
