Digital Art, Interactive Animation and Creative Expression in the Computer Science Curriculum

There are skill shortages in the digital media sector that, in part, are addressed by digital upskilling across the arts and humanities. However, outside the few interdisciplinary arts-oriented institutions and specialist programmes, there is little cross-over of art and creative expression upskilling in traditional science and engineering programmes. This short paper accompanies a 2022 BCS Human-Computer Interaction Conference Interactions Gallery exhibit that challenges the current paradigm and showcases media content, exemplar animated artworks and interactive animations on the theme of Human-Computer Interaction from a first-year Computer Science module on animation and multimedia at Keele University that combines coding and creativity with art and algorithms.
