Master of Science in Art, Culture, and Technology

专业详情

The Art, Culture, and Technology Program (ACT) is an academic program and research center that facilitates artist-thinkers’ exploration of art’s broad, complex, global history in conjunction with culture, science, technology, and design via rigorous critical artistic practice and practice-driven theory. It focuses on individual and collaborative forms and media, including cinema, video, sound, performance, photography, experimental media and new genres, writings and publications, and conceptual, sculptural, and spatial experiments. Emphasis is also placed on critical thinking, knowledge mining, creative engagement, and the exploration of changing public and private spheres. Participation in faculty research, collaborations within the Institute, connections with visitors, and an ongoing studio seminar provide students with many opportunities to develop and exchange ideas. ACT maintains the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) Special Collection, which preserves the legacy of the center and serves as a resource for scholars.

The SMACT degree program requires four semesters of on-campus academic work, including 135 units of coursework and the completion of a written thesis. For more information, visit the ACT website.
