Is it art?

Drawing with automation

The fundamentals

$Koch curve – fractals$

Computer painting

Direct manipulation interface hides away all the
mathematics and codes of implementations.

Computer drawing

The mathematics is revealed in this interface.

Computer graphics

We need to have something to describe the visual
imagery we want to draw/paint.
It is a kind of grammar or language.

Computer animation

In the second part of the course, we shall do
animation exercises in this direction.

Craig Reynolds – a flock of birds (boids)

This document contains the schedule and topics for a class on visual music and performance. The class will cover the history of integrating visuals and music, synesthesia as it relates to the mixing of senses, digital representation and computation of audio and visual media, and interactive performance using touch-based instruments. Examples of animated music, visual artists, and electronic music acts are also listed.

Evolutionary Graphics - Class 02 2014

Bryan Chung

This document discusses concepts in coordinate geometry and graphics. It covers topics like points, lines, circles, coordinate systems, color wheels, and using trigonometric functions to generate graphical patterns. Randomness is explored through defining multiple rules with the same name to randomly select shapes. The document encourages exercises to design patterns in a 3x3 grid and create tiles combining basic patterns with randomness.

Evolutionary Graphics - Class 03 2014

Bryan Chung

The document discusses recursion through examples such as collecting money from classmates, dividing rectangles, and drawing spirals and fractals. It explains recursive approaches as alternatives to iterative approaches. Recursion involves dividing a problem into smaller instances of the same problem until they are simple enough to solve directly, then combining the solutions to solve the original problem. Examples demonstrate how to define shapes recursively in Context Free Art by having shapes reference themselves with decreasing size parameters to terminate the recursion.

Interactive Arts - Class 02

Bryan Chung

This document provides a brief history of the development of interactive art and design. It outlines the evolution of participatory art forms like happenings and multimedia works. Key figures and their influential projects are mentioned, including Joseph Beuys' social sculpture concept from the 1960s, Allan Kaprow's happenings, and Jasia Reichardt's 1968 Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition. Early video and computer games, as well as interactive art installations from the 1990s onwards are also summarized.

Be a Hong Kong Patriot, Part 3, The Red Scout

Bryan Chung

The artist Bryan Chung proposes an artwork called "The Red Scout" that would use artificial intelligence and facial recognition to classify human faces as either patriotic or unpatriotic based on a small training dataset of Hong Kong officials and celebrities. Chung acknowledges issues with the small dataset and questions of who would provide the labels. The goal of the artwork is to highlight cultural and privacy implications of machine learning and facial recognition technologies through an interactive spatial installation that would examine these topics.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education

Peter Windle

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction. This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
