Manipulate and explore hardware, software, and code as tools for creation and expression.

Started in 2014 to support students working in digital mediums, the Electronic Art concentration is an interdisciplinary program that explores technology within a fine art context. As an Electronic Art student, you will gain technical skills that are complemented by research on contemporary art, current technology, and the role of new media art. You will examine technology, its impact on society and culture, and think critically about the digital realm. Like all of our concentrations, your coursework will be supported by our Foundations Program, giving you a visual language, a critical eye, and the technical skills to find your voice and participate in the advancing world of electronic art.

YOUR
COURSEWORK

Drive your own research into
interactive art experiences.

Electronic Art courses specifically focus on experimental video/animation and the architecture and aesthetics of interactive art experiences. The technical skills you gain will be complemented through a study of electronic art history and the work of contemporary electronic artists. In the introductory courses, you will have the opportunity to explore hardware, software, code, video, and animation. In the advanced courses, you will drive your own research of experimental video and interactive media. Students have investigated live stream performances, sound art and design, video for projection into the Dome theater as well as game design as artwork, user experience and user architecture, and Virtual and Augmented Realities.
