Yale's CCAM

ITP Alum, Dana Karwas, began her tenure as the director of Yale's Center for Collaborative Arts and Media,  an interdisciplinary arts research center that studies the intersection of arts and technology.

As per the Yale Daily News:

Karwas graduated from the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Design before enrolling in NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2005, where she studied in the Interactive Telecommunications Program, or ITP. Karwas explained that the ITP inspired her to combine her knowledge from her undergraduate architecture experience with various art forms and technologies.

Her passion for mixed media art continued after graduation, when she started a production company that used technology to help artists enhance their work. She began teaching an interactive art class for architects titled “Modern Mobile Scenario”  at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and brought the class to NYU soon after. Karwas was also instrumental in the establishment of the Integrated Digital Media program at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, which she described as an “interactive arts program within an engineering school.”
