Description

This module at the University of Limerick introduces students to the principles of algorithmic visuals, using the Processing language. The goals are:

  • To gain an understanding of the history of algorithmic visuals and data visualisation.
  • To gain familiarity with current artistic practices in these fields.
  • To understand the limitations and benefits of Processing as a tool for these problems.
  • To develop object-oriented code that is clear, organised, and designed for re-use.

The demo reel (from spring 2019) compiles highlights from the first assignment in this module.
