60-225 Intermediate Studio: Drawing with Machines

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This is an intermediate studio course in experimental drawing, generative art, computational design, and mechatronic mishegoss. Working at the boundaries of creative code, automation, physical materials, and gestural markmaking, we will explore personal and peculiar new approaches to digital imaging the development of ultraniche workflows as a mode of creative practice and the use of algorithms and machine collaborators as nontraditional intermediaries between mind, hand, and paper. Drawings will be created using AxiDraw plotters and a variety of other specialized robots. Interested students should have JavaScript andor Python programming experience equivalent to an introductory course such as 15104, 110 or 112.
