Creating Audio-Visual Generative Art in the Digital Medium

Generative Art is art produced by repeated application of an autonomous process, based on a set of rules established by the artist. These rules may be quite simple, but their repeated application can lead to surprising, intricate, and captivating outcomes. Students will learn to create and critique works of generative art within their theoretical and historical context. We will focus on audio-visual work produced in the digital medium. Students of all backgrounds will learn algorithmic thinking and acquire basic programming skills, sufficient to be able to realize their own generative art ideas.
