Digital Image / Sound & the Fine Arts [DFAR] integrates two domains, that of Computer Science and the Fine Arts, to address the issues of interdisciplinary cultural education and technological innovation for information societies and networked environments.
The ” href=”http://digital.concordia.ca/site/menu.htm”>Digital Image/Sound &the Fine Arts program at Concordia is an interesting hybrid arts computing program. It can either be taken as a double major with Computer Applications from the Department of Computer Science or it can be taken as a “specialization” in the BFA. The program sounds like it has a strong theory component. For an overview see Section 71.80 – Digital Image/Sound and Computer Science.
I visited Concordia in September to meet Lynn Hughes who was instrumental in Hexagram a CFI digital art project. We have put together a SSHRC Strategic Cluster proposal around interactive arts. She showed me the new building going up for computing and digital arts.
