Description

The world we live in is more and more described by digital data which is stored and distributed via omnipresent networks

The aim of this five-day workshop was to introduce programming as a creative tool. The world we live in is more and more described by digital data which is stored and distributed via omnipresent networks. How specific sets of data manifest is determined by the hidden processing algorithms alone. Usually, the transformation from raw data to form serves a certain purpose, but it also bears a high aesthetic potential. Network-Input-Processing-Output.

I learned/upgraded programming skills and learned about system design by undertaking a simple assignment: translating data from an input medium to an output medium. During the workshop, a set of simple computer programs were developed, each dealing with a defined input and output. The output should be aesthetically appealing and should serve as an input for one of the other programs.

All the pictures created with mouse movement. All of them take a picture of mine as input.
