If early humans used the tools at hand to express their creativity, imagine the possibilities as art and technology collide in the 21st century. From supercomputers to artificial intelligence, Digital Art + Technology students at ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ have new tools to create with.
You'll begin by sharing our Foundations Program with other first-year BFA Studio Art students. Then pursue a Concentration in Digital Art + Technology and expand your palette to include digital fabrication with laser and CNC (computer numerical control) etching and engraving; 3D printing and construction; our customized AI software at the Ohio Supercomputer Center, and more.
The projects you exhibit on the path to your senior thesis might include digital sequencing, visual rendering, multi-dimensional constructing, and live event experience, just to name a few.
Students can start out as B.F.A. Studio Art majors, or start out in the B.A. Studio Art major and then apply to enter the B.F.A. degree at a later date. There are no requirements beyond university admission requirements to become a Studio Art major.
Currently enrolled students can declare BFA degree areas and degree concentration areas in the School of Art + Design in the fall and spring semesters during open application periods. You are required to submit an application and portfolio.
Experiential learning is critical to our approach. Our students have the passion to experiment and create without any limits. We ask the students to have fun and be open for art experiences.
If you dream it, we can work together to make it happen.
Following the shared first-year Foundations Program experience, DAT students learn techniques, technologies, and tools to create digital fine artwork in a contemporary context. Students participate in critique and critical analysis of digital artwork with the goal of generating a personal, individualized approach to making digital artworks and physical fabrications.
Third- and fourth-year students utilize advanced technology and practices of creative coding digital fabrication for artists such as laser and CNC etching, engraving, and cutting; 3D printing and constructing, high-end computer processing of visual coding and programming. Example projects may include digital sequencing, digital rendering, multi-dimensional constructing, and live event experience, just to name a few.
These amazing creations will be presented in the students’ senior year in a public thesis exhibition as the capstone event in achieving the degree.
