Introducing the Digital and Interdisciplinary Art Practice [DIAP] MFA
program at The City College of New York, CUNY.

Develop a critical art practice using a research perspective to explore the
relationship between technology and art. Students in the two-year MFA
program in Digital and Interdisciplinary Art Practice will explore advanced
strategies in digital, photographic, and interdisciplinary media from a
conceptually-driven and research-based perspective. Drawing on diverse
models of individual or collaborative practice, students will be encouraged
to adopt open-ended and critical approaches to changing technologies.

This program promotes engagement with other disciplines in the humanities,
arts and sciences, moving beyond the traditional studio environment to
stimulate scholarly research and create an intellectual community of artists
interested in cross-disciplinary practice.

Applications for the inaugural class will be accepted through February 1,
2011.

Open House: [DIAP] will host an open house for prospective students on
Wednesday,
December 1st, from 5-7 pm. RSVP to diap@ccny.cuny.edu and see the website
for travel directions.

Artists’ Residency: To inaugurate the new [DIAP] MFA program, we are seeking
an artist working in digital/interdisciplinary media for a three-month
project residency from March 1-May 30th, 2011. A studio and one-time stipend
of $1000 will be provided. Responsibilities include a public lecture and
presentation of the artists’ project in an open studio at the conclusion of
the residence. The artist-in-residence is required to spend at least 16
hours on campus each week during the residency. No formal teaching
experience is required, but the ability to informally interact with students
working in a broad range of media and techniques, which can include
photography and new media, is desirable. The resident artist will have
access to the City College Art Department facilities. Application deadline
is January 15, 2011.

For further information and application procedures for both the MFA program
and the [DIAP] Artists Residency go to http://www.ccny.cuny.edu/diap.
