Note: information provided here is indicative only. For full and current course information view the official page on P&C.

code:	COMP1720
name:	Art & Interaction in New Media
unit value:	6
description:	This course will introduce design and coding in the context of New Media Arts and Interaction. Topics covered may include the nature of New Media Art, Interaction with New Media Art, program organisation, control structures, graphics and audio. In terms of the modern art world, the computer is not just another medium, it is a whole other range of media. Students will design and experiment to construct interactive works of New Media Art. They will learn how to conceptualise, brainstorm, plan and realise an original interactive work of New Media Art. The techniques used by computer professionals to visualise and present data are heavily influenced by techniques invented by artists and vice versa. Students will gain an appreciation of good visual and interactive design.
