An in-depth introduction to computer programming for artistic applications, focused around the Max/MSP/Jitter programming language.

Other programming languages, such as SuperCollider and C, will also be explored. This is a workshop in which artists will develop methods of expressing their thoughts and feelings about art and artistic concerns. It will include methods and techniques for describing, analyzing, and criticizing artworks in the context of the studio.
