[spectre] UC San Diego Call for Graduate Applications

[Amy Alexander]

University of California, San Diego, Department of Visual Arts, is 
currently accepting applications to its MFA and PhD programs in digital 
media.

Rated as one of the top graduate program in new media arts in the U.S., 
our program is also among the largest, with eight full-time faculty. It is 
also one of the oldest: we started teaching computer art in 1973. Today 
our research interests and teaching cover the full range of areas in 
digital arts, including net art, software and generative art, online and 
live performance, distributed virtual worlds, computer games, net activism 
and tactical media, critical engineering, media installation, digital 
cinema, location based media. We also have a very strong commitment to 
theory and a number of our faculty are known for their critical writing as 
well as their art projects.

Since the new media track exists within the larger framework of the Visual 
Arts Department with its thirty full-time faculty, graduate students 
benefit from access to top studio artists, media artists, art and media 
historians teaching in the same department. We have close relationships 
with a number of faculty in the Music department working on computer 
music, as well as top artists and critics teaching in other new media 
programs in Southern California. The additional unique resources available 
on campus to support faculty and student research include CRCA (Center for 
Research in Computing and the Arts) and CAL-IT(2) (California Institute 
for Telecommunication and Information Technology). CAL-IT(2)'s new 
building, which opens in the Spring of 2005, features one of the best set 
of research labs and technical resources for digital arts work anywhere in 
the world, as well as a gallery, screening rooms, and studios for visiting 
artists and graduate students and faculty.
