About the Program
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, creative coding, and critical games. Coursework may include traditional analog and digital photography, experimental film, 2D and 3D animation, 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.
