The processes of inquiry encompassing imagination, exploration,
discovery, and reflection are universal among artists, scholars,
scientists, and engineers. All seek to uncover new knowledge through
innovations that will improve our lives and communicate new ways of
understanding ourselves and the universe. The Center for Digital Arts
and Experimental Media (DXARTS) is a creative research convergence
zone for intrepid artists and scholars who are pioneers of an
unfolding new era in the arts.
The DXARTS program embraces an expansive range of arts practice,
theory, and research across multiple disciplines. The Center is home
to its own undergraduate and graduate degree programs, but welcomes
into its facilities and courses many who are not directly affiliated
with one of these programs. |
Faculty and students at DXARTS may focus
their work in a particular area of experimental arts (Digital Video,
Digital Media Art,
Computer Music and Sound Art, Computer Animation, Design Computing,
Mechatronics, and so on), or they may pursue areas of creative
research that have no media allegiance overlapping with and drawing
from several or many different areas. Whatever the case, artists and
scholars working at DXARTS engage in teaching, learning, and research
within the synergistic, multidisciplinary setting of Centers labs,
studios, classrooms, and offices.
A common thread running through all of the work at DXARTS is the
implicit maxim to discover new knowledge we must challenge all
assumptions (and to be true to this idea, we would challenge even this
assumption!). DXARTS is a place where the ideas and outcomes of
creative arts research are in an ongoing state of becoming.
