Many processes in nature follow an inherent logic that we want to unveil. In a playful setting we discover how things and beings in our immediate environment behave, interact and exchange matter, signals, energy and information. | Many processes in nature follow an inherent logic that we want to unveil.

The project module includes workshops titled ''"A Drop of Paint"'' and ''"A Dish of Code"''. In those two workshops hands-on skills in liquid and solid programming can be experienced. | The project module includes workshops titled ''"A Drop of Paint"'' and ''"A Dish of Code"''.

The first workshop (a dish of code) onveys solid foundations of programming. We will translate algorithms into natural arrangements, but also write computer programs, that interact with nature and evaluate it. Since we primarily evaluate nature using visual sensors, we will incidentially learn the foundations of image processing and recognition. | The first workshop (a dish of code) onveys solid foundations of programming.

The workshop "A Drop of Paint | |||
The workshop "A Drop of Paint shows how water is organising itself on glas surfaces. In dialoge with a scientist we observe patterns and rules of the experiment and develop an aesthetic application. | |||
In the ''eval(nature)'' discourse we follow up on those questions and get to know historic and contemporary works that cover this domain.<br> Each student shall develop it's own project within the theme until the end of the semester. | In the ''eval(nature)'' discourse we follow up on those questions and get to know historic and contemporary works that cover this domain.<br> Each student shall develop it's own project within the theme until the end of the semester. |
