Generative Drawings
Exploring the basics of programming through digital art
Seminar taught by Joanne Hayek as part of the Material (In)formation Workshop — DIDI, Spring 2022
Exploring the fundamentals of programming through the creation of digital art.
A module presented as part of the Spring 2022 edition of the Material (In)formation foundation workshop at DIDI, which invites students to explore the fundamentals of programming through the coding of a series of generative drawings.
Concepts explored included agent-based programming, conditional statements, mathematical operators, randomization, nested loops and the incorporation of machine learning libraries.
The languages introduced were HTML, CSS and Javascript, complemented with the p5.js, face-api.js, and ml5 libraries.
The module culminated with the students’ adaptation of the intersection of the different programming methods learned, which they presented in the form of an animated digital artwork.
