+Contact: Benoit Baudry, <[email protected]>
+
+## Course philosophy
+
+Learn about open source software environments and practices for generative digital art.
+Computer science students dive into the technical challenges of algorithmic art, beyond the utilitarian aspects of software .
+Artists and designers dive into open source software and the diversity of techniques it offers for algorithmic art.
+
+## Course contents
+
+- The tradition of algorithmic art
+- Software environments for generative art
+- Software environments for live coding
+- Research in software for art
+- The material for the course if available in [this repository's issues](https://github.com/rethread-studio/algorithmic-art-course/issues)
+  
+## Intended learning outcomes
+
+- design, develop and run a piece of algorithmic art
+- use diverse software environments for algorithmic art
+- use and develop open source software for algorithmic art
+- perform algorithmic art for live coding
+
+## Prerequisites
