Media Arts

Description

Media Arts is the study of technologically based media. Students are prepared for careers in animation and visual effects, photography, film and video, sound design, multimedia and Internet based technologies.

At UNSW, the study of this discipline is through the Faculty of Art and Design at Paddington. Major areas of study include: animation and visual effects, cross-media arts, photography, video, sound and image.

Animation and Visual Effects is concerned with the development of conceptual and technical skills required to become content creators in the field of animation and digital effects, including independent and commercial animation, data visualization and motion design.

Cross-Media Arts is an interdisciplinary area working across emerging and recognised interactive and intermedia art practices. It encourages experimental and playful approaches to hybrid art and interactivity.

Photography is concerned with the issues of analogue and digital image production within the context of national and international contemporary visual arts practice. Emphasis is placed on conceptual and practical investigations through specific projects designed to promote the acquisition of technical skills and foster critical individual interpretations in addition to conceptual and aesthetic development.

Video, Sound, Image focuses on the expanding field of lens-based media and audio practices, moving students between sound and the still image and video. It is concerned with digital imaging, sound design, music-video, VJing, motion graphics and digital storytelling.
