POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM
HOGESCHOOL SINT LUKAS BRUSSELS

LAST CALL FOR ENTRIES!

The Transmedia postgraduate program in arts, media & design is a two-year,
full-time course and leads to a postgraduate diploma in Transmedia studies.

During the first INPUT year, you hone your production skills in the
Transmedia lab, learn directly from visiting artists, engage with the
history and theory of transmedia art in seminars, attend public events and
devote time to your own work. This input confronts and fuels you with
different ways of working and thinking in order to develop your ideas and
methods further. We do not want you to switch discipline and start from
scratch. The program is not designed to turn web designers into filmmakers
or conceptual artists into graphic designers. Instead, we set up an
interdisciplinary research environment from which you can learn and deepen
your own practice. You will be challenged to rethink your process, develop
new approaches and redefine your work. At the end of the year, you will
submit a portfolio as well as a research dossier that outlines your
individual graduation project. Since there are no exams at Transmedia, your
admission to the second year hinges mainly on the review of this dossier.

During the second OUTPUT year, you devote most, if not all of your time to
your individual graduation project that consists of a substantiated art
work, i.e. a work supported by a contextual statement and defense. This
argumentation can take on different forms (a written essay, a live
presentation, a web site, a slide show, a video tape,=8A) and is meant to
contextualize your project. At this stage in the program, a tutor of your
choice helps you further refine your skills and ideas through discussions,
readings, research, and small projects. Visiting artists comment on your
work-in-progress and public events continue to inspire you as you pursue th=
e
intensive, final transmedia project of your own design.

Transmedia offers you a stimulating environment where you have access to
state-of-the-art facilities. The aim of our program is to encourage you in
producing art-work that involves the computer either as a working tool
(editing, designing, programming) or as a presentation model (multimedia
installation, web site, CD-ROM). Still, we emphasize the user's creativity
rather than the machine. You are challenged to engage computer-mediated
interactivity as broadly as possible, that is, using different and
alternative forms of narration, installation and interface to foster
innovative forms of communication and expression through transmedia
art-work. We believe that people of different backgrounds and experiences
are central to this collaborative, multi-disciplinary practice. Therefore,
we welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds: from graphic design,
visual arts, architecture, and performance to photography, film, video,
installation, and new media, but also from the humanities, sciences, music
composition, dance, and industrial design.

What sets the Transmedia program apart from university-based and regular ar=
t
school training programs is its exceptional focus on research and its
integrated mix of art practice and critical thought. This enables you to
emphasize not only technical knowledge, but also the conceptual
understanding and insights you will need to produce thoughtful, engaging,
and professional art-work. You work closely with internationally recognized
teachers and visiting artists who are actively shaping the direction of
thinking and practice in the rapidly evolving transmedia field through thei=
r
own work.

Things you should know:
- Transmedia is housed in Brussels, Belgium at the Hogeschool Sint-Lukas
Brussels near the center of the city.
- The working language of this international program is English, so
proficiency in that language, both spoken and written, is required.
- The Transmedia program (1st and 2nd year) starts on November 4, 2002 and
ends on June 30, 2003.
- The final deadline for applications for the 1st year is October 1, 2002.
The number of new admissions for the 2002-2003 academic year is limited to
15.
