This course aims to open the students' imagination to the creative potential of digital tools, whether they are already part of their practice or not. Underneath the interfaces and uses of these software programs lies information as well as cultural positioning. So what can the tools tell us beyond the function for which they were created? Students will learn to experiment with, combine, modify, and divert digital tools and thus build a toolbox that they can reuse according to their personal practice and interests. The objectives are the following:
+
The course is designed as a playground around digital tools, a space for free and uninhibited experimentation allowing everyone to work according to a personal approach. Students can carry out the research of their choice, in line with their orientation and their practice. This research can be carried out alone or in a group and must involve a singular and thoughtful approach carried out with digital tools, whether these are already known to the students or not. The research does not necessarily have to lead to a finished project at the end of the semester; a collection of diversified experiments or the in-depth technical exploration of a tool allow success in the course just as well.
  
-to confront a textual interface to manipulate information
+
The wiki is also an important part of the course. It contains the theoretical content of the courses reproduced, and the students can rely on it for their research, as much for the introductions to many digital tools as for the
 +
documentation of student projects found there. Students take part in writing the content of the wiki throughout the semester, both to progressively document their work and to improve the resource pages about tools on which they have conducted experiments. The aim is to constitute a support for sharing knowledge that is useful to them during the course, but also afterwards, for them in their own practice later, and for future students of the course.
  
-to understand the logic of software paradigms, beyond the instructions for use, to build a more intimate relationship with the tools
+
The course includes a theoretical component: presentation of free and open source digital tools and discussion with students on the technical and creative possibilities of these tools. Then the work takes place in the form of a workshop during class hours. Students conduct their research independently and a weekly follow-up is carried out
  
-opening up one's view of the tools that constitute one's practice, building up a collection of tools rather than locking oneself into a few restricted uses

The course has two objectives. The first is to constitute a set of resources and shared knowledge on digital tools and to make these available on a wiki dedicated to the course.

The course is designed as a playground around digital tools, a space for free and uninhibited experimentation allowing everyone to work according to a personal approach. Students can carry out the research of their choice, in line with their orientation and their practice. This research can be carried out alone or in a group and must involve a singular and thoughtful approach carried out with digital tools, whether these are already known to the students or not.
