Numeric Photography: Course Description
Originally offered in the late 1990s, 'Numeric Photography' looks at the way in which computer imaging and technology can affect photography and create new forms of art. It explores forms or imagery from the physical environment that can fit together well with post-processing of a computational nature in the setting of interaction, image-play and scene-capture. Aesthetic issues in interaction design and signal processing are explored. Many of the students in the original course use Java applets to complete their assignments. Taught by Professor John Maeda as part of a program in MIT's Media Arts and Sciences Department, the lecture-based OpenCourseWare version is offered free online.
This course includes assignments, students' solutions to the assignments, required textbook information and links to the students' final exhibitions. If you are interested in this course, please visit the computer enhanced photography course page.
