Homework #0: Computational (An)aesthetics
Reading
- first, read this paper
- no need to worry about the details for now, just get a sense of what it's about, and think about the ideas
- in fact, try spending no more than 20 minutes total on the paper
Specification (part 1 of 2)
- respond to the reading assignment in one of the following ways:
- either a chuck program (of any desired length) that makes sound
- or a brief written/textual response (can be as short as a paragraph, or as long as uh two paragraphs, or more)
- or a drawing / image, or something else graphical
- or a combination of above
- this can be to something directly in the paper, or indirectly from the ideas
Specification (part 2 of 2)
- construct two chucku's, according to the following specifications
- like a haiku, a chucku should contain exactly 3 lines of code
- each chucku should generate sound
- check out one line chuck crazy to see similarly compact examples
- the chucku's should be standalone (i.e., no external audio or chuck files)
- (thanks to Chris + kijjaz for the idea)
Deliverables
turn in all files by putting them in your Library/Web/220b/hw0/ directory.
- 1) your responses to the reading, as .ck or .txt or .jpg files
- 2) a separate .ck file for each chucku
- 3) an audio recording of one or more of the programs (hw0.wav)
- 4) a short README text (readme.txt) file that:
- explains your ideas in constructing each program
- contains instructions on running your programs
- any comments about each program / musical statement
- describe any difficulties you encountered in the process
Thanks!!!
