Description

This course addresses the development of open source computer programming platforms such as Processing and Arduino in a creative design process. Students will learn how to program as part of an investigation of the problem-solving potential of technologically mediated design. Projects move from a design brief, through research to the generation of dynamic concepts and their creative expression, with the development of generative graphics, responsive objects or wearables as possible project outcomes.
