The Transmedia postgraduate program in arts, media & design is a two-year, full-time course and leads to a master’s degree in Transmedia.Application Deadline

Transmedia offers you a stimulating environment where your work comes first: a continuous and independent art practice that seeks for a dialogue with similar practices from other disciplines. You are invited/expected to engage in an ongoing conversation on your work (process) through tutorials, group discussions, workshops and the interchange of ideas and skills with fellow students and teachers. The aim of our program is to encourage you in producing art-work that involves the computer either as a working tool (editing, designing, programming) or as a presentation model (multimedia installation, web site, CD-ROM). Still, we emphasize the user’s creativity rather than the machine. We believe that people of different backgrounds and experiences are central to this collaborative, multi-disciplinary practice. Therefore, we welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds.

Research
Research as an integrated mix of art practice and critical thought is an integral part of the program. Transmedia runs in-house research fellowships that you can learn from while developing your own research skills. In close collaboration with internationally recognized artists, these Transmedia research fellowships are developed in the area of computational and networked digital media. Participation in these projects can take on different forms (labs, seminars, symposia, workshops) and is determined by the artist depending on his/her project.

Current in-house research fellowships include:

City of Sounds
Cities are full of sound. This project is about getting to know these sounds, discover them, catalogue them. Through the work of international artists we find out how they deal with this urban, sonic environment. How they integrate it in audiovisual work, how these sounds are translated into ‘musique concrète’ or how to hunt for hidden sound. The aim is to develop an urban sound project.

Research fellows are Joost Fonteyne, Boris Debackere and Steven Devleminck in collaboration with the Happy New Festival vzw.

Mediated Environments
In what way virtual reality relates to physical reality? Artists working with electronic media usually hardly consider this question because of the relatively easy availability of all sorts of portable audio and video-equipment. One of the consequences of this situation is that the electronic arts are only presented in temporarily accomodated buildings during festivals or fairs. Since it is to be expected that this may change in the near future, it is a challenge to prepare for new forms of architecture by studying the history of the ideas and concepts of buildings dedicated and specially designed for the electronic culture.

Research fellows are Boris Debackere, Steven Devleminck, Frans Evers and Joost Rekveld in collaboration with the Interfaculty ArtScience, Den Haag.
