Description

Dataflow programming languages can be easier end faster to grasp than code based languages. The program itself becomes a visualisation of its own function. We will look at different environments and specifically the free, open source, and cross-platform Pure Data and its graphics library Gem. In small assignments we will gradually learn to use the software and solve tasks enableing us to realize more complex projects. Final results may be everything from musical instruments, interactive installations, mobile apps to streaming servers for radio shows. This class is aimed at a beginner level introducing dataflow programming paradigms to artists and designers. It is precondition for the succeding class Dataflow II.

Course language will be English (except everyone speaks German then it will be in German.. obviously).
