Digital Media

We do a lot of work in digital media across the College. Related taught and research programmes are listed below; each programme looks at digital media from a unique perspective.

• MA in Digital Media: Technology & Cultural Form
  Offers a critical conceptual approach to contemporary media and technology, challenging both technological determinism and over-optimistic visions of the virtual future, and stressing the social and historical contexts within which media technologies are employed.
  
   
• MA in Interactive Media: Critical Theory & Practice
  In the last ten years, interactive media have increasingly become part of the exciting new field of computational culture. Computation can no longer remain the property of specialised expertise. We believe that coding, programmability and modelling are investing culture by operating as open-source forms of knowledge, aesthetic and power.
  
   
• MFA in Computational Studio Arts
  This interdisciplinary programme has been designed to enable you to develop your artistic practices, computational skills, and conceptual framework so that you can participate in shaping the use and understanding of new technologies and cultural practices at the highest level.
