This 3-week ONLINE COURSE is a hands-on introduction to algorithmic art. Using openframeworks, participants will learn how to create form, color, texture, and movement with mathematical functions and algorithms. But far from a math class, participants will be invited to experience functions as different brush strokes on a canvas, and algorithms as different creative processes, each evoking a different feeling.

For this talk, Ruey-Shiann Shyu has invited Taiwanese curator Chun-chi Wang to discuss his work and will present a selection of projects, including the work “One Kind of Behavior” currently on shown at the Bronx museum.
