BIP: Creative Digital Tools / Data Visualization (Course #1)

Course Outline

This BIP Event on Creative Digital Tools – Data Visualisation will focus on understanding the meaning and use of data, as well as the possibilities of working creatively with data sets. Within the selected areas, groups of participants will solve different real-life situations using real-time simulations. During the course we will use various digital software tools which can be used both in arts and technical fields.

The aim of the course is to improve the multidisciplinary thinking and approach and also skills in digital and virtual space. Since the aim of the course is to CONNECT seemingly disparate things, the topics will have an interdisciplinary basis. A special feature of this course is the implementation of its part in the form of in-field exploration and interventions in a real environment during the physical part of the mobility. This BIP is also directly supporting the Ulysseus European University concept.

Course Content
