The second part is about decoding Gestalt. We will use Gestalt-Laws to interpret the manifold relationships within visual and auditory form, gestures and other signals. We will use the devices of the faculty for Media Environments, but also every-day sensors like built-in cameras and microphones of laptops and smartphones. In the final step we will get to know systems for Gestalt-based programming like Reactable, TurTan and AcidSketch and develop similar environments of our own. | The second part is about decoding Gestalt.

== Requirements == | == Requirements == | ||
== | Since we will use ''Processing'' as a tool, programming experience in Processing is strictly required.<br> | ||
We will also use Github, OpenProcessing and this Wiki on a frequent basis. | |||
If you want to take part in this course, you should already have: | |||
* created a couple of sketches using [http://www.processing.org Processing] | |||
* registered an account on [http://www.github.com Github] + created a repo containing a Processing app | |||
* registered an account on [http://www.openprocessing.org OpenProcessing] and upload a sketch in processing.js | |||
== Target Audience == | |||
Bachelor and Master Students of | |||
* Media Art & Design | |||
* Media Architecture | |||
* Visual Communication | |||
== Evaluation == | |||
Participants are expected to develop their own codes for interpretation or construction of Gestalt.<br> | |||
Implemenatation as a reactive or interactive program, that is able to perceive or compose visual or accoustic form.<br> | |||
During the course there will be Assignments where you will be expected to upload your sketches to OpenProcessing and publish the results in this wiki. | |||
==Registration procedure== | |||
Please send your application by email with the Subject ''{{PAGENAME}}'' to: [[Martin Schneider|Martin.Schneider]] (at) uni-weimar.de | |||
* Name, Surname | |||
* program and semester (Studienprogramm und Fachsemester) | |||
* matriculation number (Matrikelnummer) | |||
* Valid email address @uni-weimar.de (no other mailing addresses will be accepted) [[SCC-Services#E-Mail|Why?]] | |||
