WHAT?
Transmedia is a two-year, full-time course postgraduate in arts, media and design. The program focuses on research and its integrated mix of art practice and critical thought. During the first INPUT year, you hone both your production and research skills in the Transmedialab, engage with the history and theory of transmedia art in lectures and seminars, attend public events and, of course, mainly devote time to your own work. This input confronts and fuels you with different ways of working and thinking in order to develop your ideas and methods further. During the second OUTPUT year, you devote most of your time to your individual practice leading up to your graduation project, i.e. a (body of) work supported by a research dossier.
Transmedia offers a stimulating environment where your work comes first: a continuous and independent art practice that seeks for a dialogue with similar practices from other disciplines. You are invited to engage in an ongoing conversation on your work (process) through tutorials, group discussions, seminars, workshops and the interchange of ideas and skills with fellow students, internationally recognized teachers and visiting artists. The aim of our program is to encourage you in producing art-work that involves the computer either as a working tool or as a presentation model. Still, we emphasize the user’s creativity rather than the machine.
WHO?
People from different backgrounds and experiences are central to this collaborative, multi-disciplinary practice. Therefore, we welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds: from graphic design, visual arts, architecture, and performance to photography, film, video, installation, and new media, but also from the humanities, sciences, music composition, dance, and industrial design.
