Lab 1. Text and 2D drawing

05/May/2020, 10-14h
Lesson 2. Case-studies in generative media
Lab 2. Forces and particle systems

06/May/2020, 10-14h
Lesson 3. Student examples
Lab 3. Perlin noise and 3D

07/May/2020, 10-14h
Lesson 4. Add-ons
Lab 4. Images and video

08/May/2020, 10-14h
Lesson 5. Project proposals
Lab 5. Sound and sound visualization

11-14/May/2020, 10-14h: Project development (support)
15/May/2020, 10-14h: Project presentation

The course is focused on the generative aspects of media design and coding, interaction design and the control of media elements in interactive projects. Students will experiment with a broad range of media elements with an emphasis on controlling media behavior through code. Special emphasis will be given to crossings between sound and image: sound visualisation; sonification; audiovisual composition; visual music; etc. Course code is available at https://github.com/aalto-mediacode

The course focuses on exploring multitouch interaction, and other mobile-enabled technologies, to create innovative and engaging experiences with digital media. Multiple devices will be used, with an emphasis on mobile phones/tablets and the iOS platform. Other devices and platforms will also be discussed.

The main development environment for the course will consist of openFrameworks (oF) with Xcode. Students should have previously attended the Software Studies for Media Designers course, or demonstrate having acquired equivalent skills. Students are required to plan, develop, document and present a project at the end of the course.

Add inspiration links here for 10/Dec
