Computation has a rich history in the arts as a mechanism for enhancing artistic endeavor.
For example, computation in music ranges from producing sound to assisting, and in some cases automating, musical composition. Dance has a similar tradition, where computers have been used for motion capture, annotating and synthesizing choreography, and creating animation. The purpose of this class is to review the role that computation has played thus far in the arts, and to explore new ways of using computation. The class is interdisciplinary, with faculty coming from various units of the university. Students must have a strong interest in the arts and sciences to succeed in this course.
