Deadline: January 10, 2018. About DANM Our innovative two-year MFA program emphasizes artistic and scholarly research that is interdisciplinary and collaborative. Research project groups are a distinctive hallmark of our curriculum. With close faculty mentorship, small clusters of students collaborate on artistic, technical, and theoretical projects. Core and elective courses in the theory and practice of digital media arts support the development of individual thesis projects, premiered in our annual MFA exhibition. Prospective students apply to a specific research project group and are selected by the faculty leading it for admission to the program. The research project group for Fall 2018 is Experimental Play. Faculty DANM faculty are internationally recognized artists and scholars. Our principal faculty come from Art, Film and Digital Media, Music, History of Art and Visual Culture, Theater and Dance, Computational Media, and Art and Design: Games and Playable Media. Our affiliate faculty expand our expertise even further, offering students an unparalleled depth and breadth of mentors. Alumni DANM alumni teach at top research universities and art schools, lead community-based organizations, work for major technology and entertainment firms, and have launched successful careers as exhibiting artists and entrepreneurs. The DANM alumni network offers our past and present students valuable professional opportunities and support. Facilities DANM is housed in the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC), a 25,000 ft building overlooking the Monterey Bay. DARC was designed by BCM, whose projects include Pixar Animation Studios and flagship Apple Stores in New York, Palo Alto, and Barcelona.
