MEDP 278 Monday, 7:00-9:45 PM
Interactive Media Production is a semester long introduction and exploration of the Processing environment (http://www.processing.org). Throughout the 15 weeks, we will explore the computational approach as a bridge between media/art projects with the users and participants that interact with it. We will be exploring Processing as a tool for harnessing video, audio, web, as well as keyboard and mouse interaction, as we explore how to connect assets to create thought-provoking projects.
Students are encouraged to bring creative ideas and past projects they hope to explore in an interactive landscape. Weekly class times will be a mix of teaching core concepts of processing and programming, a viewing of student’s projects and code, and conversations on what makes engaging interactive projects successful.
Students with no previous programming experience to proficiency in programming are encouraged to attend.
Grading is split up as follows:
Absence policy
Attendance to all classes is required and attendance is taken at each class. A significant part of your final grade will be determined by class attendance. If you need to miss a class, contact the instructor prior to the date and make alternative arrangements. After the fact explanations do not work. More than three absences will result in an ‘F’ (failure) for the class. No exceptions. This is standard policy across digital media courses. Class begins on time, so you must be punctual. Two late arrivals equal one absence.
