Algorithms in art are no longer mere visualization tools, but rather creative partners with a considerable share of aesthetic responsibility. The universal language of algorithms is math. Students of the subject put hands-on principles of mathematics in art, get acquainted with more than 50 creative software tools (visual grammars, fractals, chaos, tessellations, etc.) and learn how to understand and critically reflect on calculated creativity.
Lectures are divided into a theoretical track covering computational foundations of art, and practical assignments that conclude with a collective exhibition.
