Course Description
This introductory course will explore computation as an artistic medium, with creative approaches to computer programming as the central theme.  Through readings, viewings, group discussion, labs, projects, critiques, and guest artist / researcher presentations, we will examine a range of computational art practices, while developing a solid foundation in basic computer programming approaches and techniques.
