Project 1: Generative Art / Data Visualization

Vera Molnar - Molndrian 1974

Develop a project in one or a combination of the following topics:

As a piece of media art, the project must incorporate criticality and/or present an exploration into new aesthetics or perspectives. Think beyond what you want something to do and into why you want to do it, what is it's purpose when presented to others, and what do you want your audience to receive after experiencing this piece.

Your project should be appropriately challenging for your background and it is highly recommended you choose subject matter related to your personal interests. At the same time, recognize what is realistic and achievable in the given time period: be lazy like a fox.
