Interactive Arts program at Brooklyn College

Dear Rhizome,

I'm pleased to announce that the program in Performance and
Interactive Media Arts at Brooklyn College in New York City is
currently accepting student applications for the Fall 2004 - Fall
2005 sequence.

The first review of applicant portfolios will be held on March 15.

Performance and Interactive Media Arts is a graduate program in
collaborative, experimental, transdisciplinary artistic production; a
three-semester, 18-credit certificate program created cooperatively
by the Brooklyn College departments of Art, Computer and Information
Science, Film, Television and Radio, Theater, and the Conservatory of
Music.

For complete information visit the program's website at:
http://www.interactivearts.org

Interactive programming is a central component of the first two
semesters of study, including instruction in the MAX/MSP (+ Jitter &
SoftVNS) programming environment, and opportunities for advanced work
in interactive sound and image in performance settings.

The curriculum consists of courses covering the technology, theory,
creation, and production of multimedia and interactive performance
artworks. Exploration of the collaborative process within a community
context, focusing on the intersection of the creative process and
contemporary community and cultural issues, constitutes an important
feature of the program.

Please contact me off-list.

Thank you,

John Jannone

Dear List,

The program in Performance and Interactive Media Arts at Brooklyn
College in New York City is currently accepting student applications.
The next review of applicant portfolios will be held on April 20.

Performance and Interactive Media Arts is a cutting-edge graduate
program in collaborative, experimental, transdisciplinary artistic
production; a three-semester, 18-credit certificate program created
cooperatively by the Brooklyn College departments of Art, Computer
and Information Science, Film, Television and Radio, Theater, and the
Conservatory of Music.

The curriculum consists of courses covering the technology, theory,
creation, and production of interactive performance artworks. In
their collaborative productions, students bring together theater,
digital video and imaging, electronic music, sound design, and
interactive technologies.

Interactive programming is a central component of the first two
semesters of study, including intensive instruction in Max/MSP with
Jitter & SoftVNS, and opportunities for advanced work in interactive
sound and image in performance settings.

The teaching faculty includes outstanding artists and scholars such
as Ronaldo Kiel, Jennifer McCoy, Martin Spinelli, and Amnon Wolman.

The Interactive Arts program is a project of six well-equipped
departments at Brooklyn College. One of the goals of the program is
to give a small group of advanced students "unprecedented access" to
the technological and production resources on campus.

Students in the program have access to the Center for Computer Music
and recording studio, the Television Center (including a
broadcast-quality television studio and television post-production
lab), the radio station and the academic radio lab, the G4 and G5
digital arts labs, the digital arts graduate editing room, a blackbox
theater, and 24/7 access to the "configurable workshop space" used
for work in multimedia performance, robotics, and computer interface
design.

For equipment signout, students have complete access to a broad array
of equipment belonging to the program, as well as most equipment
distributed by the Television Center, Center for Computer Music, and
Digital Arts area.

Some technological highlights: An 8.2 channel performance sound
system, two 8-channel computer music studios, a 24-channel
"soundwall" studio, 16x16 video and audio matrixing and three
portable digital video switchers for performance use, four
synchronizable professional DVD players, a portable performance
lighting system, a Kyma system, 9'x12' video projection screens, 1gHz
Macintosh G4 performance laptops, iCube and Basic Stamp sensor
interfaces, and a wide variety of multi-parametric performance
controllers such as the Doepfer Drehbank.

Please feel free to contact me off-list.

Thank you,

John Jannone
