DGA1017 - Introduction to Computational Art

MQF Level

Duration and Credits

Semester 2

6 ECTS

Mode of Study

Part-Time Day

Introduction to Computational Art will consist of lectures introducing students to the fundamentals of computer art, followed by special topics that will expand on their ability to express themselves experimentally with code. The study-unit will introduce students to applications that involve basic coding and principles of Artificial Intelligence in relation to art and design. Special topics will focus around interactivity, image, audio and text processing.
