FNDT 153: Creative Computing

This introductory course provides an understanding of computer coding using an intuitive graphical software interface for real-time sonic art and video practices. Using Max/MSP software, a visual programming environment, students learn the fundamentals of code, interaction, and procedural thinking for creative output. The course includes possibilities for mapping digital processes onto physical interfaces, such as drum controllers, fader boxes, and touch interfaces. Weekly programming assignments culminate in original code and a final project using techniques learned in class. No previous coding experience is necessary.
