Key Summary
About: The Bachelor of Media Arts focuses on developing creative skills in various media disciplines, emphasizing both practical and theoretical learning.

Media Arts explores strategies, devices and technologies that carry, change, and effect messages, narratives, images, sounds, and experiences. We focus on interactivity (how artists create a dialogue between art and audience) and time-based art (the expressive use of technology). Media Arts students learn how to use sensors, circuits, mechanical devices, video, film, sound, performance art, and multimedia to express themselves.
