A project-oriented course combining creative writing with coding. Designed for creative writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, gamers, and programmers interested in integrating text and language into their work, our reflective writing practice will embrace a three-fold approach: production of writing, discussion of theory and example works, and acquisition of technical skills. Both print and digital sources will be consulted for critical vocabulary and historical foundation that is of relevance to student projects. Projects may include everything from hypertext to sound/kinetic poetry, to SMS narrative, to texts authored in part or wholly by computer program, to physically-situated installations and beyond. Lab time will focus on developing the basic coding skills that are required for aesthetic expression in digital media using free and open-source tools. Lectures will address aesthetic, conceptual, and technical concerns arising at the intersection of digital media and textual art practice. Prerequisite: Creative Coding, or equivalent experience with at least one modern programming language: C/C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, ActionScript, etc.
