51-882 Interactive Art and Computational Design
12 units, Carnegie Mellon University
This is an advanced studio course in artsengineering and new media practice, with a special emphasis for Spring 2016 on mapping and information visualization using geographic data. Topics surveyed in the course will be tailored to student interests, and may include experimental interface design, locative and mobile media, datadriven activism, image processing and computer visionbased interactions, and other topics. Through a small number of exploratory assignments and a public capstone project, students will bolster interdisciplinary problemsolving abilities and explore computation as a medium for curiositydriven experimentation. Enrolling students are expected to have demonstrable programming skills, without exception, beyond the level of an introductory class such as 15112. Although the course will provide technical overviews of major visualization toolkits including D3, Processing, and openFrameworks, assignments may be executed in the students preferred programming environment. Graduate students should register for section 51882 or 62726 12 units, which meets with the undergraduate sections 60412 and 51482 10 units.
