From VR to AI, from responsive sensor-activated light and sound installation to critical approaches to creative coding, we see the future of Immersive & Emergent Media art as an active, connected, social experience. The I.E. Media concentration in DCMP introduces students to technologies of the future while providing a foundation for creative thinking, considerate design, aesthetic sensitivity and engaging storytelling. Students explore through instruction and hands-on experience with technologies and techniques to produce meaningful and impactful work. Students learn to question and intervene in the designed spaces of I.E. Media with the goal of bringing critical awareness to their cultural, social and political impacts. No technology is neutral, but with careful consideration and craft, we can create technologies that enhance and extend our human experience.

Students in this concentration learn the tools, techniquesÌýand technologies of sonic practices ranging from sound art to electronic music to podcast production. A focus on creating a practice of deep and critical listening and exposure to a diversity of sound practitionersÌýchallenges students to think creatively and conceptually about sound to broaden both their technological and conceptual understandings of sound, and to enable them to engage constructively and creatively with sonic worlds.
