Narration and Interaction in New Media Studio
Diploma Studio
Developing artistic works that uses time-based and interactive audiovisual media, combined with conceptual thinking and critical analysis of contemporary art and culture.
Students have access to a studio equipped for video recording, editing, and post-production, including specialized macro recording devices, AV live performance software, microcontroller kits and electroacoustic analog instruments. The studio also allows for rehearsals and presentations. We collaborate with the Academy of Music in Wrocław and with national cultural institutions. We aim for students’ works to be presented during exhibitions, concerts, and art events in Poland and abroad. The studio emphasizes conceptual approaches to media art, understood as developing ideas and artistic strategies.
