Photographic and Electronic Media is a platform to explore the reverberating social and artistic uses of optical and electronic media technologies. Its curriculum and intent is to ground artistic practices in a rigorous investigation of historical and critical contexts; it prepares students to realize artistic projects involving complex techniques, and provides intellectual and technical skill sets demanded for professional practice and teaching.
