This course proposes an approach toward the constituent technical elements of digital media, exploring sound and image – both moving and still – both as sequences of bits, elementary units of information, as well as complexities emerging from algorithmic operations.
Practical experiments of binary manipulation (databending / datamoshing) are thus proposed, as well as experiments of audiovisual generation from simple algorithms, made using creative coding tools (Processing). In addition, experiments that seek alternatives to traditional forms of capture, manipulation and audition/visualization are also proposed.
Course content will include:
In classes mainly practical in character, experiments will be proposed as to manipulate and deconstruct images and audiovisual objects through the use of techniques, such as databending and datamoshing, that intervene directly in these objects’ binary representation. The construction of software that manipulates or generates audiovisual forms will also be proposed, with an invitation to the creation of expressive mechanisms that challenge these objects’ usual modes of capture, editing and exhibition. Careful documentation of individual work will be demanded, as the necessary methodologies will be approached in class. In addition, lectures will provide complementary content, framing the practical work in the context of the historic evolution of Digital Art and Digital Media.

With a final grade equal or superior to 10 points.
Weighted average of the quantitative grades of the evaluation components. Projects lacking instructor supervision will have null evaluation, as will projects in which the development goes undocumented by the student.
Cases in which the students may benefit from special status (student workers, student athletes, etc.) will be subject to appreciation on an individual basis. Therefore, such students are to contact the instructor ASAP.
Only through course repetition.
