ITP, the graduate new media program at Tisch, is launching an interdisciplinary undergraduate Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Interactive Media Arts (IMA). The IMA program starts from the proposition that computation — the ability to code, learn new software, manipulate data, and create physical + digital interactions — is an essential creative capability, and that students who master those capabilities will be well-placed to invent the future. At the program’s core is the conviction that digital expression is an essential skill for all — artists, writers, and designers as well as programmers and engineers. 

The Spring 2018 class described below, Comm Lab: Hypercinema, is an ITP course, but it is designed and intended for the undergraduate community. It is meant to provide core, foundational material for anyone who may be interested in the IMA major. It is also a stand-alone course for any undergraduate who wants to explore the new narrative strategies and techniques embedded in AR, VR and related topics.

There are no pre-requisites — it is open to all undergraduate students.  No special permission from ITP is required.
