Piet Zwart Institute Willem de Kooning Academy Hogeschool Rotterdam Two-year Master programme (M.A.) in Media Design The Media Design M.A. at Piet Zwart Institute is a study programme focused on experimental work with programmable and networked media. "Media design", in our understanding, is not merely the arrangement of pixels and user interface sugar-coating, but a critical and speculative practice that involves a deep cultural understanding of information systems in their technical, aesthetic, political, philosophical configurations. We encourage students to rethink media and realize radical work. Unlike other art school media programmes, we emphasize practical and theoretical study of programming, software and networks in conjunction with experimental arts, design, net culture, critical theory and activism. We also work a lot with open source software and non-standard tools. We are a small school with people closely collaborating in an environment of intense study. Our students are international and have multidisciplinary backgrounds in fine arts, design, humanities and sciences. Our staff consists of Florian Cramer (course director and cultural theory instructor), Michael Murtaugh (mentor, M.S. from MIT Media Lab), Calum Selkirk (technical teacher, Linux developer), Leslie Robbins (project coordinator, Fine Art diploma from UdK Berlin). Recent and future project leaders include Aymeric Mansoux (goto10.org), jodi (jodi.org), de Geuzen (geuzen.org), jaromil (rastasoft.org) Recent visiting tutors include Luna Maurer (poly-luna.com), Femke Snelting (CONSTANT), Kenneth Goldsmith (ubuweb.com), Sebastian Luetgert (textz.com), Wilfried Hou Je Bek (socialfiction.org), Andreas Broeckmann, Tom Schouten (Packet Forth project), External examiners in 2007 and 2008 were Inke Arns and Sally Jane Norman.
