Student Research Projects

To provide an overview of the digital media arts discipline by introducing a range of issues, themes, methods, and institutions through historical and contemporary examples representative of both the theory and practice.

We will attempt to define the artistic/aesthetic approach, consider the conditions under which it is produced, and address methods of evaluation. In conjunction with the above, we will also focus on identifying similarities and differences in problem-solving, creativity, and methodologies as practiced in the arts and the sciences with the goal to reveal interdisciplinary possibilities to foster team-based research and production through arts-engineering collaborative projects.

Monday evenings will include visiting lecture presentations. Wednesday evenings will concentrate on faculty and student presentations on a range of relevant topics from readings and research.
