Course overview

This session features presentations from expert practitioners. It focuses on Generative Art can mean a lot of things: Creating sonic soundscapes from data tables, turning sensor input into visual art in real time, and even manipulating random chance into something beautiful. Any data from anywhere can be transformed with the right tools. Such generative techniques are getting increasingly widespread in music, visual, and audiovisual art. In this edition of the Max Meetup, we are going to look at all kinds of creative ways artists are applying generative techniques in their works, and how they are doing it.
