Overview
Key facts
- This exciting realm of infinite possibilities, where every rendering can be unique, is what we mean by University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland's Generative Design.
- Since the 2010s, a new era of frameworks has taken advantage of web browsers’ increased speed and capability, utilizing the HTML5 Canvas element as a sandbox for interaction. With the help of one of those frameworks, p5.js, one can quickly get up and running to code motion graphics, interactive visuals for a website, custom tools with GUI elements, and much more!
- By using dynamic inputs such as mouse movements, random chance, or time of day, one can influence parameters controlling the design of images, shapes, typography, to name just a few.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:- In this workshop (intended for both absolute beginners and experienced coders alike), we shall dive right into key functions for generating forms and type, setting them into motion, allowing user interaction to influence them and design our own digital tools for visual communication.
- In this workflow, we shall explore live coding, using a custom environment, where one sees instantaneous visuals as the code changes.
- Therefore, we shall have to take it one small step further and make our sketches audio-reactive, just in case you plan to VJ on the weekend.
