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 ****tfolios 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, dance,
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 op****tunities 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 ****table digital
video switchers for performance use, four synchronizable professional
DVD players, a ****table 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.
