在媒体实验室的美学与运算小组旗下，1998 年的“数字摄影”可说是最早开设的课程之一。本课程探讨早期的互动式计算机绘图，及其与视觉艺术的结合。所有作业与解答请参考作业区，学生作品请参考专题区。

This class from 1998 was one of the first classes taught under the auspices of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab, and deals with the very early stages of interactive computer graphics and their combination with the visual arts. A full set of assignments and solutions can be seen in the assignments section, and the final work of the class is in the projects section.

参与麻省理工学院媒体实验室所开之“数字摄影”课程的学生，必须在活用场景捕捉、影像操控与互动的前提下，结合摄影以及计算机运算技术，呈现一场数位艺术展览。学生需自备普通的数位相机，按周缴交软件作品，针对讯号处理与互动设计的角度，探索各种美学议题。累积成果共计创作了 100 多个 Java Applet，其中大部份具有互动功能，展示了许多以计算机操控影像的新方向。每周的作业已集结为期末展览，收录所有学生的作品。

The aim of the students from the Numeric Photography class at the MIT Media Laboratory was to present an exhibition of digital artworks which blend photography and computation, in the context of scene capture, image play, and interaction. Equipped with low end digital cameras, students created weekly software projects to explore aesthetic issues in signal processing and interaction design. The results are more than a hundred Java® applets, many of which are interactive, that suggest new avenues for image play on the computer. These weekly exercises led to the final product, an exhibition of the student work.
