SYLLABUS


Today, the art has many forms, but mainly remains a method of free expression. During the years, technology became affordable by everyone, and thus has been adopted by the art. There is a conversation about the involvement of technology in arts. Is the technology an art production tool or a tool for supporting art? Or maybe both;

The technology involvement in art creations plays a crucial role now than ever, when the interaction aspects have emerged. Art interactive creations represent today’s more frequent applications.

The main goal of the course is to knowing and demystified technology for developing applications that interact with physical events and quantities by using affordable and practical technology that involves microcontrollers, microprocessors, sensors and other circuits.

The course is focused on the “connection” of sense-decision-act which supports the interaction circle for making an art object to an interactive installation.

Course topics (synopsis):

  • Introduction to technology applications for digital arts

  • Modern and affordable implementation technologies

  • Basic circuit elements-The first application

  • Programming aspects in a digital platform

  • Examples of application programming

  • Components-Sensors

  • Developing basic applications

  • Application scenarios for supporting interactive art objects
