Overview

Digital & Interdisciplinary Art Practice at The City University of New York's central focus is a utilization and critical engagement of digital media that leads to research into areas as diverse as interactive sculpture, cyber gender, non-narrative motion graphics, online privacy or bio art and is supportive to different models of individual or collaborative art practice.

What is the [DIAP] approach to digital art practice?

[DIAP] emphasizes adaptive knowledge: to train students who will be technically adaptive to any medium that best serves a particular project including digital, traditional or experimental media, and will make artwork successful within the critical framework of contemporary art practice.

[DIAP] promotes collaborative methodology to promote flexibility of process and to encourage collaborative, open-ended approaches to art practice as an alternative to traditional modes of artistic production.

[DIAP] offers a comprehensive curriculum: to foster fluid methods of digital, photographic and interdisciplinary art practice through a curriculum of analytical and practical course modules including: independent/collaborative studio projects, subject-focused workshops, medium-focused workshops, and teaching theory and practice.

[DIAP] uses a model of scholarly research to encourage scholarly discourse and reflection through a written Thesis developed in conjunction with the students’ creative Thesis Project.

[DIAP] fosters autonomous solutions to develop artists who operate in an interdisciplinary fashion, who have the ability to adapt quickly and fluidly to various digital or photographic media and to various contexts of artistic production.

[DIAP] encourages cross-disciplinary approaches. by encouraging students to take courses in areas beyond their primary media in order to broaden their skill sets and their range of thinking.
