"Mapping (Moving) Image Data" is an introduction to programming for artists and designers. Mapping here refers to the cognitive method of transferring from one to another (cf. analogy). Programming, digital processes, artificial intelligence (but also biological (artificial) intelligence) are full of mappings. These should help us to grasp programming mentally. But beyond that, we also want to realize our own program-driven mappings. Using p5.js, Processing and Python we will modify images (static and moving) based on mappings: Pixel-level image processing, image generation based on a set of rules, classification of images, sound-driven (moving) images.
The goal of the course, in addition to learning basic programming skills, is to develop a small project on program- and data-driven (moving) images. This makes it suitable as a supplement to the Projektmodul »Lost (in) music«.
No programming knowledge is required to participate, but (especially then) commitment outside of the course time is expected. Students with programming experience are of course also welcome. Please contact me by mail if you have any questions. Optionally, a short letter of motivation can be attached to the registration.
The language of instruction will be determined in the first session.
The course is intended for all students, especially those of VK and MKG. Under certain circumstances (see study regulations), an informal application can be made to the relevant examination board for the course to be credited to students of MKG. |
