Synopsis
Coding, digital techniques and generative AI are increasingly used by artists and taught in arts programmes but an equivalent cross-over, of art and creativity into traditional computer science education, is not so evident despite a shortfall of skilled graduates in the digital media sector.
The talk will outline the creative coding opportunities for computer science students at Keele University and the open-source Processing library and Integrated Development Environment used in undergraduate teaching.
Examples will be provided of basic 2D and 3D graphics, animated sprites, multimedia and games in Processing.
Attendees will be provided with an opportunity to adapt and personalise cinema-sized animations displayed live in the new Innovation Centre 7 building.
We hope you can join us.
