Student Learning Outcomes

Mission Statement

The programs in performance and interactive media arts provide students with training, theoretical and technical background, and practical experience in the conceptualization and production of collaborative, multi-disciplinary artworks. Working groups emerge from a cohesive community of artists made up of the students and faculty of the programs. Works are presented in a performance setting. Students learn to use technology as a means of extending their personal artistic practice and facilitating cross-disciplinary artistic collaborations. Students with diverse academic, artistic, professional, and cultural backgrounds enter the program, form a close-knit community, and work in collaborative groups throughout the course of study, with close mentoring by faculty members. In the second year, a major collaborative thesis production is created and presented in a professional venue.

Program Meta-Goals

Form a functional, cohesive, supportive, and self-managing community of artists that supports the collaborative groups and projects emerging from it.
Collectively agree to, during the course of study, place the work of the community (and the collaborative groups that form from it) before individual artistic work.
Collectively agree to place a high priority on mutual respect and constructive behavior in the interactions of the community’s (and collaborative groups’) members.
Collectively understand that the PIMA studio is your fellow students, and that to spend time “in the studio” means to spend time with your collaborators, regardless of the physical location of the meeting. Collectively agree that students will spend, on average, 20+ hours per week in face-to-face collaborative situations.
