Dear Garrett,
I did not attend the RCA, but rather the Interactive
Telecommunications Program at NYU in the US. But I've had
some friends go through there, and have visited and seen some
outstanding work. It appears to be a nice balance of theory
and practice, and emphasizes what we called "physical
computing," instead of focusing on the screen.
Personally, this is where I think digital art is headed --
off of the screen. The field is brand new and there is a lot
of experimentation, producing some good work and a lot of
awful (but necessary) work. Few institutions, much less
individuals, have a sense of direction. A few, notably
Eyebeam and SFMOMA, are forging ahead, and I hope that
institutions such as these will take the lead in curatorial
education. As computers continue to disappear, I hope that
new media arts education remains grounded in the traditional
arts.
