Please note the new description for Daniel Rozin’s Spring 2008 course
The World: Pixel by Pixel. The former description, which was from
the Fall 2007 version of the course, emphasized that the course was
for second-year students. However, the Spring version of the course
is suitable for first-year students who will have completed (or been
waived from) Introduction to Computational Media by the conclusion of
the Fall semester.
The World-Pixel by Pixel
H79.2273.1 Daniel Rozin Thur 09:30am to 12:00pm
Images and visual information are perhaps the most potent tool at our
disposal with which to engage viewers of our computer based
creations. Computers have the ability to share our visual world by
means of evaluating visual information, transforming visual content
and even generating visuals from scratch. This class focuses on the
art of computer graphics and image processing. We will explore the
concepts of pixilation, image representation and granularity and the
tension between reality and image. Students will be introduced to the
tools and techniques of creating computer images from scratch,
manipulating and processing existing images, compositing and
transitioning multiple images, tracking live video and masking,
compositing and manipulating live video. The class will use the C
language (will be taught in class) and the various API’s required for
graphics on Mac OS and Windows including carbon, QuickTime, GDI
( Programming, Algorithmic Aesthetics )
