M.F.A. in Digital Arts - Interactive Arts

Pratt Institute

Explore the boundless potential of digital and electronic media to generate new modes of expression that transcend conventional norms. Our curriculum empowers students to master off-the-shelf software while also integrating novel techniques revealed through studio experimentation, delivering innovation equally prescient in the fine art or commercial sector. The MFA in Interactive Arts cultivates the exploration of the critical issues of our growing digital cultures - through participation in physical installations, interactive objects, machine learning / AI, augmented and virtual reality simulations and networked-based applications. Self-discovery, societal transformation, and critical reflection are recurrent themes in the MFA studios. The MFA Interactive Arts degree is a two-year, 60-credit program for prospective students, with a creative arts/design background. While this degree focuses on artistry with cutting-edge technology, varying levels of incoming technical knowledge is accommodated. The Department of Digital Arts prepares and develops innovative artists through rigorous immersion in a diverse culture of excellence. Students pursue self-directed, multidisciplinary projects in state of the art facilities guided by a faculty of accomplished working artists in New York City. Our concentrations emphasize experimentation, refinement and professionalism.
