Students will work collaboratively with a range of production technologies to create examples of intermedia arts practices. Students work across disciplines integrating extant technologies and developing new technologically-focused practices in order to better understand how experimental electronic arts practices can integrate new and emerging media technologies.

Course notes

In Intermedia, students get the chance to experiment with different forms and expressions by combining platforms and mediums to create an exploratory work. This is achieved through individual responses to three key themes or provocations. Students build on their critical thinking and technical skills and dive into new areas of creative practice in small groups, ending with an exhibition of their work. For many students, this is a chance to explore unique ideas and push their practice in a purely creative space, not limited by the boundaries of industry or commercial appeal.
