OPPORTUNITY | ACADEMIC PROGRAMS:
Art And Technology Mfa At The University Of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Art And Technology Mfa At The University Of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
The Studio Arts MFA with an Art and Technology concentration at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is now accepting applications! Inquiries due in the next 2 weeks, full applications in January or February.
This is a research/creation studio arts program that centers on the study and use of new technologies in relation to traditional visual art, cultural studies and contemporary philosophy. Students conduct their own intensive research into, and production of, electronic, digital, new and/or hybridized art forms; they receive continuous guidance and feedback on their trajectories of study and art-making from graduate faculty; and they take courses along with all other MFA students across "older" media and materials, so as to practice speaking with and back to the various discourses of art, culture, and new domains. They receive intimate instruction through small classes, guided independent research and, eventually, a committee of three or more professors working wit h them on their thesis exhibition and writing.
Art and Technology is not a discipline, as it does not ask us to be disciplined. It is an approach, a set of strategies that frame and amplify who and how we are, and more importantly how we could be.
Given the collaborative and dialogical nature of digital communities, all graduate students are assigned either solo or shared studio spaces for their work in the same building, and they have access to multimedia, computer vision, electronics, and 3d printing and rapid prototyping labs and instructors to work with. They may also use other facilities in the department, including ceramics studios, darks rooms, a foundry, wood and metal shops, and printmaking and fibers labs, among others. Most of our MFA students receive some form of financial support, and many of the top applications are fully supported through Project Assistantships, Teaching Assistantships (often with individual studio lecturing in the digital arts major), or Fellowships at the school. The Art and Technology concentration is for students who work across concepts and materials, new and traditional media, and thinking and making, while understanding that all are integral to our larger cultural practices.
The application deadline for Fall 2014 admission is February 1, 2014. Fellowship applications are due January 7, 2014
(Please note that there are several sources of funding other than the fellowships. Apply even if you miss that deadline!)
