Call for applications - Transmedia - Brussels

Transmedia is a two-year, full-time course in arts, media and design leading to a master's degree in Transmedia. This international program focuses on research as an integrated mix of art practice and critical thought. This multidisciplinary environment fosters a dialogue with experts about your artistic practice. Transmedia places individual practice at the core of the program. Here you can learn from internationally recognized teachers and visiting artists who, through their personal work are actively shaping the direction of thinking and producing in the rapidly evolving Transmedia field.

During the first input year, you hone both your production and research skills in the Transmedia lab, engage with the history and theory of Transmedia art in lectures and seminars, attend public events and, of course, mainly devote time to your own work. This input confronts and fuels you with different ways of working and thinking in order to develop your ideas and methods further. You will be challenged to think your process, develop new approaches and redefine your work.

During the second output year, you devote most, if not all of your time to your individual practice lead­ing up to your graduation project, i.e. a (body of) work supported by a research dossier.

Transmedia offers a stimulating environment where your artistic practice comes first: a continuous and independent art practice stimulated by dialogues with practices from other disciplines. Students are invited to engage in an ongoing conversation about their work process through tutorials, group discussions, seminars, workshops and the interchange of ideas and skills with fellow students, internationally recognized teachers and visiting artists.

People from different backgrounds and experiences are central to this collaborative, multidisciplinary practice. We welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds: graphic design, visual arts, architecture and performance; photography, film, video, installation and new media; and also the humanities, sciences, music composition and industrial design.

The program focuses on research as an integrated mix of art practice and critical thought and engenders a collaborative, multidisciplinary practice. Research is an integral part of the Transmedia program with in-house research fellowships. From these fellowships students can learn while developing their own research skills, in close collaboration with artists from all disciplines. Transmedia research is developed in the area of computational and networked digital media. Visiting artists open up their work process and methods and students participate in their projects in different forms determined by the artist: labs, seminars, symposia.
