[Nettime-nl] TRANSMEDIA 2006 - 2007: Call For Apllications |
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: TRANSMEDIA POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM IN ARTS, MEDIA & DESIGN 2006/2007 Hogeschool Sint-Lukas Brussels Brussels, Belgium The Transmedia postgraduate program in arts, media & design is a two-year, full-time course and leads to a master¹s diploma in Transmedia studies. APPLICATION DEADLINE OCTOBER 1 2006 (The number of new admissions for the 2006-2007 academic year is limited to 15) Transmedia offers you a stimulating environment where your work comes first: a continuous and independent art practice that seeks for a dialogue with similar practices from other disciplines. You are invited/expected to engage in an ongoing conversation on your work (process) through tutorials, group discussions, seminars, workshops and the interchange of ideas and skills with fellow students. The aim of our program is to encourage you in producing art-work that involves the computer either as a working tool (editing, designing, programming) or as a presentation model (multimedia installation, web site, CD-ROM). Still, we emphasize the user's creativity rather than the machine. You are challenged to engage computer-mediated interactivity as broadly as possible, that is, using different and alternative forms of narration, installation and interface to foster innovative forms of communication and expression through transmedia art-work. We believe that people of different backgrounds and experiences are central to this collaborative, multi-disciplinary practice. Therefore, we welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds: from graphic design, visual arts, architecture, and performance to photography, film, video, installation, and new media, but also from the humanities, sciences, music composition, dance, and industrial design. The Transmedia program focuses on research and its integrated mix of art practice and critical thought. This enables you to emphasize not only technical knowledge, but also the conceptual understanding and insights you will need to produce thoughtful, engaging, and professional artwork. You learn from internationally recognized teachers and visiting artists who are actively shaping the direction of thinking and practice in the rapidly evolving transmedia field through their own work.
