The course will locate art software practice within a history of process-oriented art forms and look at examples of software created by artists. In course activities and art projects students will be encouraged to experiment with a variety of scripting approaches. Section One of this course, ten weeks, will teach scripting with Macromedia Director's Lingo. Subsequent sections will teach other languages including JavaScript, Perl, and more advanced Lingo, within net art and network gaming contexts. Tutorials and scripting exercises will supplement the programming skills employed in art projects. Unit 1. Multimedia, Software, and Art Process Unit 2. Interactivity Unit 3. Scripting Fundamentals Unit 4. Nanopet Pet Project Unit 5. Drawing Tool Project http://www.opensorcery.net/skool/games&art/games&art.html The_Art_of_the_Avid_Gamer The course will investigate various ways that active cultural production by gamers functions as art. The course will begin with creative exercises in game character building and graphical avatar design with attention to identity, gendering and violence. Students will then be introduced to the digital folk art of game add-ons and asked to make artistic interventions in gaming culture. Avid participation in gamer fan culture often serves as a foundation for later game design in the gaming industry. Unit 1. Identity and Role Playing Games Unit 2.
