MA|MSc in Art and Technology

Students will:

• Engage critically with the artistic, political, social and cultural implications of technology.
• Work with an international body of artists, researchers and students.
• Be engaged with key fields of arts practice rooted in technology including expanded cinema and film, sound art and composition, interactive art, virtual and immersive systems.
• Be introduced to innovative coding, fabrication, and physical computing skills, and emerging approaches to AI, 3D printing, sound design, software studies, simulation and interactivity.
• Gain a range of creative technological skills, and the opportunity to develop new approaches with your own practice.

Course Structure

The programme is delivered through an innovative 12 month structure which begins with an intensive two week bootcamp that introduces students to the facilities and support available and establishes the common technical foundations for the programme. Following this students focus on the core aspects of critical theory, creative coding, physical computing, audio, and video.

In the second semester, through small group teaching and specialist seminars and workshops, students explore the integration of advanced topics in areas including digital fabrication, composition, game design and coding in their practice. Students also begin the development of their major research project.

The final project and thesis is developed over the summer months and presented in a showcase exhibition at the end of August.
