Overview

The AT/SP curriculum provides advanced technical and conceptual learning in a critical and supportive environment. Seminars and critiques encourage open, revelatory, and rigorous dialogues among peers investigating histories, futures, theories, and practices in the technological and sonic arts. These are complemented by a continually evolving departmental workshop series connected to AT/SP labs and facilities and a wealth of advanced undergraduate studio courses that cover specific technologies, processes, or strategies within the AT/SP fields of study.

Program Learning Outcomes

In the Art and Technology Studies at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, students build their own individual course of study guided by expert faculty. They can take advantage of a fully interdisciplinary pedagogy through courses, advisers, and seminars, or they can take a focused approach to specific media, disciplines, or topics in the AT/SP ecosystem. These include creative coding, sound art, VR and AR, experimental music, bio art, hardware hacking, synthesis, games, and many other topics.

The department offers several jobs for graduate students which include the following:

Departmental Assistants
Lab Technicians
Techroom Technicians
Teaching Assistants (TAs)
Special Projects Positions

Positions available to the Art and Technology / Sound Studies graduate students provide opportunities to work closely with faculty, staff, and peers in various ways. Departmental assistants work with the graduate coordinator to create community across the graduate cohorts. Lab and techroom assistants support all students with the operation of equipment and tools in our facilities. Teaching assistants collaborate with faculty to help students with classroom assignments and workshops. In addition, Special Project positions are announced as needed.
