Design your own digital tools

Minor Tech Art in brief

  • Design digital tools: what do designers need for creating their art?
  • Make open source software
  • Simplify or optimise existing technology
  • Transform source data into usable content

About the course

In order to become less dependent on proprietary technology, we need a new type of artist. An artist who is not only resilient and assertive, but also sufficiently tech-savvy to hack together their own digital tools for creating real-time interactive experiences.

The minor Tech Art therefore explores current technological developments and links them to creative processes. The focus is on further democratisation of technical creative processes through using and contributing to open source software, tools, assets and knowledge.
