Integrated Media

Return to Faculty of Art Program Guides

In what ways can artists engage with or disrupt commonplace assumptions and uses of media and technology? Do digital technologies shape and produce new aesthetics? How can new media art practices shed light on questions of representation? What do the narratives of immersive and virtual worlds tell us about ourselves? How do artists invent new forms that inspire fresh perspectives?

Integrated Media is an interdisciplinary area of study that fosters ingenuity, creativity and adaptability in a world where digital technology increasingly influences daily experience. Students in Integrated Media are introduced to the creative possibilities of robotics, electronic, holographic and web-based art, animation, audio and sonic arts, film, video, script writing and performance art.

Integrated Media students are encouraged to develop a unique, personal language, while applying critical perspectives on technological practices and media conventions. Graduating students in Integrated Media emerge as strong cultural producers eager to challenge the limits and meanings of new media and cutting-edge technologies.

Integrated Media students are encouraged to select elective courses from such areas as Fabrications (Metal), Sculpture/Installation and Photography or Criticism & Curatorial Practice courses in order to pursue ideas and skills that enhance and complement the various media practices offered in this program major.
