Call for MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology (ACT)

The Master of Science in Art, Culture, and Technology at MIT is a rigorous
two-year program for artist-thinkers who seek to advance their critical
and production practices. Research, pedagogy, and MIT's culture of
scientific inquiry and transdisciplinary approach inform artistic
explorations in cinema and its migrations, art in the public sphere,
performance, video, photography and related media, and spatial and sonic
experimentation. ACT Graduate students are challenged to question the
aesthetic, historical, cultural, social, and ethical implications of their
work. Critical thinking, knowledge mining, and creative engagement, along
with explorations of changing public and private spheres are of particular
relevance.
In addition to engaging in transdisciplinary projects with researchers in
departments, labs, and centers at MIT, ACT faculty work with scholars and
institutions in the US and around the globe, bringing external reviewers,
artists, speakers, and students to visit and collaborate with the ACT
community. The Office of the Arts at MIT and the List Visual Arts Center
extend the opportunities for collaboration and exchange with
internationally recognized artists and scholars through a number of
programs, grants, and exhibitions.
Artists and cultural producers with diverse backgrounds and innovative
transdisciplinary practices are encouraged to apply. Admission is based on
a careful examination of the applicant's artistic and academic record,
including relevant samples of completed work, a statement of purpose, and
letters of recommendation.
Application deadline is 31 December 2014.
