Post Content: Position: Tester for a computer program for creating art (NOT A.I.)
Pay: $20.00/hour
I’m looking for artists and/or art students (undergraduate or graduate)
who will test and assess a new computer program for creating generative
art. Won’t take much time, and could extend into the fall if you like.
The program will be explained to you, and then you will be asked to
create an artwork of your choosing using this system. You will not be
expected to write a program, and it is not based on Photoshop or Paint.
You will be interviewed and videoed while using the system. There will
be multiple sessions, separated by weeks, as we try to update the system
based on the feedback received.

Qualifications:
- You should be an artist or art student. We’d like to see a couple of
your artworks.
- Not afraid of computers, but no need for much experience.
- Available for 1-2 hours at a stretch, at your convenience.
- Acceptable reading and writing skills.
The system is a node-based drawing system, interactive using the mouse
or touch screen. You will be using our computers and phones.
Contact Dr. J Parker, jparker@ucalgary.ca or 403-220-6784 if interested.
Include a brief note indicating your art experience, computer experience,
contact info, and general availability.
