This course introduces the use of coding and programming languages for creative outcomes to artists. The class will build a software drawing ‘machine’ together. This software drawing machine will have components constructed in several different programming languages - and these components will communicate with one another. This strategy will highlight the notion that coding itself is the core (portable) competency. Readings and discussions examine the conceptual and aesthetic impact of code within the context of an interdisciplinary art practice.
