Master Study Interface Cultures at University of Art and Design in Linz
Austria
(4 semester)
http://www.interface.ufg.ac.at/
The Interface Culture masters degree program, founded by media artists
Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau, is an artistic-scientific study
to educated media artists and media researchers in creative and
innovative interface and interaction design.
The study lasts two years and concentrates on project-oriented and
theory-based training in interactive digital media, combining art with
research, the development of projects and prototypes with scholarly
publication.
Subjects thought include: interactive art, interaction design, game
design, tangible interfaces, auditory interfaces, fashionable
technologies, wearable devices, intelligent ambiences, sensor
technologies, telecommunication and new experimental forms of
human-machine, human-human and machine-machine interactions.
Artistic expressions include among others: interactive art, net art,
software art, robotic art, sound art, noise art, games and story
telling, mobile art as well as new hybrid areas like genetic art, bio
art, space art and nano art.
A specialty of the program is its strong collaboration with the Ars
Electronica in Linz, where students can show their projects on a yearly
basis and thus get in contact with the top experts of the media art and
design field. Previous projects of student works at Ars Electronica 2005
