2017 - Arts 185GL - Optical-Computational Culture


2017Spr Instructor Technical Consultant		Arts 185GL: Optical-Computational Culture George Legrady Rodger Luo Arts Building E-Studio rm 220, Tues-Thurs 10am-11:50am

Course Description		An arts-computation studio course focused on developing an experimental project that explores the design and interaction between cameras connected to computers. Keywords: Mobile multi-camera vision system Swarm behavior Research in image recognition Arts-engineering interdisciplinary collaboration Arts experimentation Critical Questions: How should the cameras move? Where should cameras look, at what? How to organize and present the images the cameras collect?
