=== 17.10. - INTRODUCTION MEETING === | |||
* Introduction | |||
** Short self introduction | |||
** Examples of different pixel projects | |||
** What? Why? How? | |||
** What you will learn in this class | |||
* Questionnaire: What (technical) knowledge and experience do you have about programming and electronics? What do you want to learn? | |||
* Installing Processing | |||
* Mailingliste, Wiki, etc. | |||
* Reading list & (online) resources | |||
* Processing Introduction | |||
** P01 ShapesAndRelations | |||
** P02 CustomFunctions | |||
=== 07.11. - PIXELS, PATTERNS, RULES === | |||
''What is a single pixel capable of and how are pixels perceived in larger formations? What can be used as a pixel? Generative Design of Patterns and repeating structures. Experimental systems are done using the well known "Processing" environment.'' | |||
* Review of Assignment I | |||
=== 14.11. - GRID, LAYOUT, DISTRIBUTION, STRUCTURE === | |||
* Possible strategies: | |||
** Formulate a (static) grid system | |||
** Generate structures by dynamic parameters | |||
** Using external images or structured data | |||
=== 28.11. - MOTION, CHOREOGRAPHY, STORIES === | |||
''What can be done with the developed Systems? How can you represent movements and patterns in a digital system? Concepts to animate the structures and systems are developed.'' | |||
* Principle: Using software to prototype motion and behaviour and use the very same system (or parts thereof) to control the movement of the physical installation (authoring system) | |||
Strategies: * Create animations by parameters * Environments / Systems (physics simulations, particle systems) * Using images / video as source | |||
=== 12.12. - GETTING PHYSICAL === | |||
* Methods and strategies to transfer the digital prototyped concepts to a real object / mechanism | |||
* What to translate and how? | |||
* Electronics introduction and Arduino | |||
* Developing simple mechanical structures and principles | |||
=== 9.1. - PROTOTYPING === | |||
=== 23.1. - PROTOTYPING, FINALIZING === | |||
=== 6.2. - PRESENTATION & DOCUMENTATION === | |||
