About the course

As an Interactive Arts student at MICA, you will improvise, innovate, experiment, and play as you create unique, interactive experiences across an array of traditional and emerging media.

　　Interactive Arts majors learn how to integrate art with technology, build robots, make games, work with VR/AR, and create performances and unique experiences, all in a variety of media and materials. Through a process of creative inquiry based on learning by doing, you will become comfortable with new and emerging technologies and prepare for careers in the fields of experience/interactive design or as fine artists who work with interactive media.

　　The curriculum gives specific attention to crafting interactions across an array of media and forms, including person to person, person to object and object to object encounters. Interaction and code are at the core of P2P/Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, VR/AR, and 5G, and while all IA majors are not required to work with these specific technologies their studies will provide them a conceptual and technical foundation to engage creatively with these transformative innovations.
