Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen
About this program
Study a Master's in Media, Art, Design and Technology in the Netherlands
Media performers, artists and designers doing strange and unexpected things with technology: that is what the MADtech study programme is about. You are invited to employ and explore hybrid technologies in order to imagine, interpret and change human interaction within a transforming world.
You are encouraged to apply a tinkering playfulness and have an experimental mentality, which are the key ingredients of your development and artistic research. This mentality, combined with a critical reflective attitude and conceptual skills, leads to unexpected perspectives, and will result in artistic, multimedial, experimental design or performative work.
MADtech students come from various backgrounds and fields of media, art, or design. They all share a fascination for technology, that transcends the mere use of it as a tool with predefined and process-shaping functionality. Instead, technologies and its influences are examined critically, researched conceptually, used creatively in non-standard ways. They are developed individually to enable the creation of specific MADtech strangeness.
The combination of several disciplines in our student groups will give you the opportunity to develop your artistic vision, while deploying a hybrid artistic practice as an autonomous media performer, artist and/or designer. As your work engages with the world, you’ll grow both as an individual and in your artistic practice, reinforcing the power of your imagination as well as exploring your own connection to a transforming and technologically charged society.
