How does MFA Computer Art curriculum differ from other graduate programs at SVA?
MFA Computer Art is unique in that it features an interdisciplinary approach to the incorporation of emerging technologies to create linear and non-linear digital fine art. Students come from diverse backgrounds such as traditional fine art media, dance, performance, music, computer science, various engineering specialties, and even entomology. The creative work and research that students pursue is equally diverse. Past creative work includes, but is not limited to, sound art, performance art, interactive installation art, narrative and non-narrative animation, net art, algorithmic art, game art, real-time interactive video / audio processing art, virtual reality art, and narrative and non-narrative linear video art. Elective courses comprise the majority of the curriculum. Students are strongly encouraged to pursue an individualized course of study that best builds on and expands their creative practice and knowledge.
