Semester: winter semester 2025/2026
Language of instruction: English
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 1
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Algorithms" introduces students to key computer algorithms and their applications in the context of digital art and creativity. The course covers both theoretical foundations of algorithms and practical implementation examples. Participants will learn how to solve algorithmic problems, optimize processes, and efficiently manage data in the context of digital artistic applications. Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to develop programming skills, which are essential for many creative processes in new media. The course prepares students to effectively apply algorithms in digital creativity projects and technological innovations.
