Art and Technology studies start in Aalto University
Aalto University introduces Art and Technology, a multi-disciplinary study module that is targeted to MA level students and starts in the academic year 2012‐13. It brings media art and electronic art for the first time as independent subjects to the curriculum of the university. The study module combines media artistic thinking and practice with the aesthetic and philosophical foundations of the field. Students are encouraged to cross over boundaries between technology, art and design.
Application deadline: 31 May, 2012.
Content
The emphasis is on interactive artworks that are spatial, embodied, or mobile. The course works typically utilize computers and electronics for artistic expression. Some topics to be covered are interactive installations, experimental user interfaces, wearable electronics, and ubiquitous technology. In addition to artistic projects there will be studies in media art history and the technical tools that are needed. The main language is English.
