The MA in Interactive Media focuses on the transversal merging of new media theories and practices. The course combines philosophical investigations into media systems with software processing practices and offers students a space to construct new media ecologies. The practical methods employed on the course are not illustrations of theoretical concepts, just as theoretical approaches are not a simple distillation of practices. Our methods are driven by the speculative ontologies of media systems that reassemble, block, or make possible our worlds. Help us speculate: prodding and poking media machines, following their pathologies, and diagnosing our futures. We are looking for students from design, scientific, artistic, cultural, philosophical, and/or political backgrounds who have felt the polarity of their disciplines and are looking for a critical environment in which the practical and theoretical carry equal weight.
