Art, Technology, and Culture is the ideal major for students interested in image-based and interactive media production within the context of contemporary art. Students are immersed in the disciplines of photography, video art, animation, and critical games. Coursework may include traditional analog and digital photography, experimental film, 2D and 3D motion graphics, internet art, sound, installation, performance, emerging technologies, and cultural theory. ATC values the expression of ideas, forward-thinking cultural practices, and encourages experimental forms. ATC fosters an interdisciplinary approach to education that extends beyond the borders of the traditional art school experience. Students build unique practices and portfolios that support their career goals as independent artists and future culture makers.
All art majors are initially admitted under the Bachelor of Arts in Art degree. Upon completion of Core I and Core II, students may apply for admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts – Art, Technology, and Culture degree via a portfolio review. ATC BFA Portfolio Reviews are announced each Fall & Spring through the OU School of Visual Arts.
Art, Technology, and Culture majors graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
