Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course will bring an understanding of the data structures of audio, image and video files and will open possibilities for working with media far beyond the features of the available softwares. The skills obtained in the course can be further applied in Neural Network development, physical computing, implementing new features to some open media softwares as well as bring possibilities to develop standalone applications which can be used in performances, installations or fixed media works.

This class will be a prerequisite for a new class in Artificial Intelligence and Artmaking scheduled for Winter semester 2019.

Mode of study

Lecture and coding with exercises.

Prerequisites and co-requisites

Course contents

This is the second part of Creative coding with Python.

When we speak about Python we should speak about two key features of that programming language - its power and beauty. The power of Python is that it represents a high-level programing language which can be used for general purposes (like Delphi, Perl or the family of C based languages C, C++, C# etc.). But in the meantime, the beauty of Python is that it's less complicated for understanding and is a more intuitive programming language. The aim of the course is to introduce the features of coding in Python, which can be used in artistic practice.
