Media Technology UG2

Media Technology course aims at presenting the knowledge-based foundations to the digital media undergraduates. It covers:

• Image, Video and Audio acquisition, processing and compression
• Fundamentals of Light and Sound
• Digital information storage and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) In the BCU module guide, three learning objectives should be fulfilled, which are:
• Demonstrate an understanding of the operating characteristic and applications of systems involving capture and processing of Image, audio and human-interaction.
• Explain the application of communication and networking in media processing and distribution systems including: how audio-visual information is transmitted on the internet.
• Present original analysis of technologies and markets from wide ranging research.

In the course “Processing Art”, I introduce an artist or art style each week to inspire the students. In this week, We learned the “for” loop to represent the art style of Yayoi Kusama, who used a lot of strong colored dots to draw. Every week, I tried to combine artistic thinking into the basic knowledge of coding. In order to encourage the students to create, I introduced the “four-coordinate plane”, a method to research and organize information. Students could collect and place different artists or art styles into different planes, then try to modify their code to achieve different visual effects.
