Programming for ArtistsThis course provides you with the tools you will need to creatively apply programing skills to your own practice. It encourages a practical and theoretical engagement with computer programming. Visits from guest speakers and student-led discussions will encourage and enhance your critical awareness of the issues surrounding computer art. During the course you will be expected to undertake small-scale programming projects.

Creative Technologies & Art PracticesOften provocative and engaging, art of the electronic age addresses significant issues relating to post-modem society. In the 1960s, artists felt the need to seek collaborations with engineers and scientists to help produce innovative work using new technologies. This seminar course establishes a framework for reading key texts, and a discussion forum that explores the relationship between arts and technology. Our study will begin with artistic manifestations that relate to earlier technologies, as well as to video art and multi-media installations. We will examine examples of internet art, computer-based installations, virtual reality, telematic presence and other interactive strategies. We will also consider the significance of selected techno-performances, artificial life, robotics, wearable computers and 'cyborg' artworks.

We have access to the Computer Arts Society archives in the V&A.

Workshops in Creative CodingThis course aims to offer you the opportunity to develop skills in applied audiovisual computing through a series of workshops and project sessions. The topics delivered cover creative software development in C/C++, and audio and graphics programming for embedded systems (iPhone and iPad).

ElectivesA number of optional courses are available on a variety of interdisciplinary topics such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, audio engineering, physical computing, animation and cognition.
