Description
No matter if metered readings, stock exchange data or coastal lines: for artists and designers alike it's a challenging task to extract meaning from data. We will evaluate workflows to interpret and analyze one-dimensional data. Eventually this data will be visualized or sonified.
Course language will be English (except everyone speaks German then it will be in German.. obviously).

Kurssprache ist Englisch (es sei denn alle Teilnehmer verstehen und sprechen Deutsch. Dann ist die Kurssprache natürlich Deutsch).
