University of California, San Diego, Department of Visual Arts, is
currently accepting applications to its MFA and PhD programs in digital
media.
Rated as one of the top graduate program in new media arts in the U.S.,
our program is also among the largest, with eight full-time faculty. It
is also one of the oldest: we started teaching computer art in 1973.
Today our research interests and teaching cover the full range of areas
in digital arts, including net art, software and generative art, online
and live performance, distributed virtual worlds, computer games, net
activism and tactical media, critical engineering, media installation,
digital cinema, location based media. We also have a very strong
commitment to theory and a number of our faculty are known for their
critical writing as well as their art projects.
Since the new media track exists within the larger framework of the
Visual Arts Department with its thirty full-time faculty, graduate
students benefit from access to top studio artists, media artists, art
and media historians teaching in the same department. We have close
relationships with a number of faculty in the Music department working
on computer music, as well as top artists and critics teaching in other
new media programs in Southern California. The additional unique
resources available on campus to support faculty and student research
include CRCA (Center for Research in Computing and the Arts) and
CAL-IT(2) (California Institute for Telecommunication and
Information Technology). CAL-IT(2)'s new building, which opens in the
Spring of 2005, features one of the best set of research labs and
technical resources for digital arts work anywhere in the world, as well
as a gallery, screening rooms, and studios for visiting artists and
graduate students and faculty.
