Projects

• See the Alhambra slide show for useful graphic ideas for projects
• Projects may be done by teams.
• Project components include: the proposal, the NetLogo model, the class presentation, and the written report.
• The crux of the project must be a work of algorithmic art, created as a NetLogo model, that exhibits digital harmony. That is, animated abstract image and sound track generated by a mathematical rule.
• The math might be from chaos theory, fractal geometry, or Euclidean geometry with symmetry.
• Copy of NetLogo model via email due before presentation day
• Final written reports (one each team) due on presentation day and must include:
  • Title. abstract, team members
  • Concepts of the design
  • NetLogo model with adequate comments
    (hard copy of Procedures only)
  • Image of the NetLogo graphics window
• Final presentions should operate the netlogo model, explain the code, and (optionally) show a movie of the final composition. See HERE for an example of netlogo's movie making code.
• NetLogo movie recordings do not include sounds --- while recording video from your model running on machine A, you must record sound from your model on machine B (eg, in GarageBand on the Mac). Then sync the sound track with the video (eg, in iMovie on the Mac). All this can be done in the Arts Computing Lab, Porter D-245.
