Digital Arts
Digital Arts can take many forms - from the computer screen, to the movement of the body on a platform, to the acoustic space of digital music. Intermedia is characterized by the particular fluidity it allows among text, body, space, sound, and image. The Digital Arts program at the University of Oregon takes an intermedia approach where knowledge is not simply presented, but rather, constructed, designed, and performed. This program fosters both student and faculty creative exploration in areas of convergence amidst media, data, image, and sound working in spatial, time-based, traditional, hybrid, interactive, and biological forms. Digital Arts are concerned with the development of graphics, sound, interactivities, and a broad range of creative applications such as web art, games, animation, video, performance, installations, and other uncharted forms as sites of communication, expression and personal inquiry. The department offers the Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BS), Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) degrees in Digital Arts. The undergraduate program offers a foundation in the conceptualization, invention, and production of converging media forms. A variety of technologies are used with a current focus on digital technologies. Students enrolled in the fifth year intensive Digital Arts BFA program share a foundation of Basic Design, Drawing, and Art History with all Art majors--the foundations are the primary strengths of the program and are based in the history and practice of visual art and communication.
