Design | Media Arts
Overview
The influence of technology and scientific innovation is profoundly changing how we express ourselves. Media Arts is a new field that represents the exciting convergence of technology with the established design discipline. The Design | Media Arts program at UCLA offers a comprehensive approach to design that encourages innovation by students. The faculty in this program seek to provide students with the creative, artistic, and intellectual foundation upon which they can build their contributions to this dynamic field.
The Department of Design | Media Arts is committed to educating responsible designers and artists for the information age by teaching the fundamentals of Design, Media, and the Arts, and encouraging experimentation and innovation. Providing an extensive education in Design and Media Arts practice, history and criticism, the department fosters a critical and creative exploration of emerging forms of visual communication, typographies, interaction and interface design, ubiquitous computing, virtual environments, information spaces, networked agents and all other pertinent areas of research.
