European Media Academy Day @ DEAF_ARENA

As digital media plays an ever increasing role within a broader range of
academic faculties the space of media art education within the university
also begins to expand and cross ever-new disciplinary borders. Confusion
begins to grow regarding terms such as new and digital media, interactivity
and screen or info culture. Within this we see an explosion of educational
methodologies and structures that attempt to situate electronic media
expression and theory within the academic streams of art, design and
architecture through the formation of new departments and curricular
structures.
