[spectre] Clarification - UC San Diego Call for Graduate Applications

[Amy Alexander]

Hello, this post is a clarification of our posting of last week:

-----------------------

University of California, San Diego, Department of Visual Arts, is currently 
accepting applications to its MFA program in Visual Arts and its PhD program in 
Art History, Theory & Criticism. Within the MFA program, students may focus on 
digital media art, and within the PhD program they may focus on digital theory 
and criticism.

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 internationally - a unique context and capacity to combine 
interdisciplinary research in art and science and engineering - as well as a 
gallery, screening rooms, and studios for visiting artists and graduate 
students and faculty.
