Intermedia and Electronic Arts (IEA) is a new, emerging area of study within art and design that explores new forms of creative output brought about by new technologies. IEA builds on the historical philosophy of Intermedia, which combines different models of thought by bringing together seemingly disparate disciplines of arts, science, and technology.
Students enrolled in the concentration focus on conceptual understanding of the arts, while using state of the art technology to work on their projects. Technical components include programming, interactive media, graphic arts, sound, and video. IEA encourages project driven collaborations with students and faculty across different disciplines, both within and outside of the Department of Fine Arts.
For information about the Intermedia and Electronic Arts concentration, contact Prof. Elizabeth Demaray.
