Description

A playful introduction into algorithms materialised using robots as drawings machines.

In the first part of the semester, titled ?algorithms?, students will use a series of instructions from Sol Lewitt?s drawing series as the basic assignment to learn how to convert written instructions into algorithms the machine can understand, execute and ultimately draw with a pen onto the canvas. The second section of the semester titled ?materials?, opens up the class for experimentation with different types of materials, tools and canvas. Students will develop their own algorithms and tools and explore the relationship between code, machine and material behaviour.
