PROJECT 3: CODING EXHIBITION DSDN142 CREATIVE CODING COORDINATOR: ANGELA BLACHNITZKY
TASK We are going to create an exhibition that explains coding terms. Your task is to choose a basic programming operation and - by creating a metaphor - present it in such a way that the exhibition spectators understand it. You are completely free to choose whatever medium you find appropriate. Your output can for example be a set of images or posters, an object (kinetic, interactive or static), a movie or a game (real life or virtual). Do not use any words written or spoken in your exhibition piece. You can and are required to describe your work within 200-300 words. Hereby you can refer to actual code or provide explanations. Please note: you don’t have to use code. You just have to understand the concept well enough so that you can explain it to others. Hereby it might help you to relate your metaphor to something you can experience in everyday life.
APPROACH: - choose one of the following programming terms: variable(s), function(s), loop(s), if/else, array(s). If you would like to use a different programming operation, that is also possible, but please talk to your tutor first. - make sure that you completely understand the chosen term yourself by analysing various processing applications and modifying them and by comparing them to real life objects or processes.
- create metaphors - brainstorm possible exhibition ideas and sketch your top three ideas - develop a time-management plan and a cost/equipment plan for each idea - choose your favourite and most manageable idea - build/design your exhibition piece - test it with users and post their feedback on your blog - fine-tune it - set-up the exhibition in the atrium
