For Thursday, we will be reading a short piece written by Sol LeWitt in 1967, Paragraphs on Conceptual Art. Many of you might be familiar with this text, but I encourage you to re-visit it through the lens of our course. We’ll be spending some time in class discussing it, very curious to hear your thoughts on how this writing has aged, and what parts of it might be relevant to our practice.

Class #3

This week our discussion will be centered around Ten Questions Concerning Generative Computer Art. It’s again a pretty quick read, but if you find yourself short of time, it’s fine to just focus on two or three of the topics they bring up.
