DM2000 Interactive I

To deliver to students a practice-based understanding of the design and construction of interactive media. To give students a broad overview of the range of creative options within the field of interactive media.

Using node-based programming, this course is an introduction to the practice of Interactive Digital Media and its application in the artistic and commercial domain. Students will be introduced to state-of-the-art creative environments and technologies. Through combining node-based programming with such hardware as controller boards, microcontrollers, sensors, loudspeakers, microphones, light projectors and cameras they will become familiar with how to construct their own basic functional and original interactive audio/visual installations.

• Basics of computer programming for control / data flows, sound and video
• Controller board and sensors introduced
• Cameras, sound and live interaction
• In-class Studio work
• Presentation of software patches
