Spatial Media

The concentration in Spatial Media offers an inclusive, multidisciplinary alternative to more traditional sculpture programs. The curriculum emphasizes exploring ideas through the manipulation of materials and space, placing equal importance on theoretical development and studio production. The Spatial Media ideology is built upon these three pillars: installation and object-based practices, digital fabrication and emerging media, craft and the DIY (do-it-yourself) aesthetic. Through this integrated, encompassing approach, the area encourages new kinds of makers to develop work that moves between media and disciplines, work that exists beyond the established boundaries of traditional inquiry. As a student in this concentration, you will have the opportunity to discover a range of media and creative practices; develop the skills needed to articulate the concerns of your work; and prepare professional portfolios to apply for opportunities, workshops, and residencies.
