Jacklyn Brickman, MFA student in Art & Technology, was awarded a Tech Hub grant to produce an art installation that connects the human body to black walnut trees. She discusses her finished work Spellbreaker and her thoughts on the role that technology can play in helping us understand living systems.
Rose Stark, MFA student graduating Spring 2019 presents her installation work and describes how her experiences as an animator influenced the way she approached building these sculptures for her exhibition, Transluminal.
The curriculum balances intensive studio-based coursework with university electives. Our 3-year collaborative MFA program offers its students an opportunity to extend and deepen their studio practices within the expanded context of a research university. The vast majority of our students are fully funded by Graduate Associateships (GAs) for all 3 years of study.
Each graduate student is provided with a private, or semi-private studio, as well as access to facilities dedicated to the production of interactive and robotic art, game art, large-format imaging, moving image art, and collaborative spaces for the development of new forms.

Art & Technology Graduate student Jessica Ann is currently in Madrid, Spain pursuing a project titled Biofeedback Cinema at Medialab Prado Comunidad. Jessica’s Biofeedback Cinema is an expanded-cinema-experiment (ECE) that connects an actor’s brain to a camera via an open source brain-computer-interface (BCI). The system proposed operates in lieu of a traditional cinematographer. In this case, the actor’s brainwaves are dictating the final composition (camera focus, aperture, position, etc).
Jessica began development of her project in the New Media Robotics course taught by Professor Ken Rinaldo and is now collaborating with a team in Madrid that includes a programmer, a choreographer, and a video producer. You can learn more about the project and follow their daily progress here.
