Photography & Digital Arts is designed for students interested in the hybridization of photographic and digital arts, by using images and information as contemporary art-making tools. Opportunities to learn using both sequential and non-linear narrative strategies in interactive and hierarchical environments allow students to produce work that is critically engaged with the combined phenomena of digital technologies and the photographic image in today's visual culture.
The Photography & Digital Arts major at Moore combines studio courses in photography, multimedia, digital video, and animation, as well as studies in the history of electronic and image-based media as a means to provide students a firm grounding in theory and practice. Students will engage in multiple strands of practice and aesthetic considerations, learning to combine and even challenge the boundaries of photographic and digital technologies, as they master essential conceptual, technical, and production skills. A required internship is an integral aspect of this program.
The BFA in Photography & Digital Arts prepares students to pursue a variety of career paths in the fields of photography and time- and web-based media, giving them the flexibility to enter many industries, both existing and evolving, that are based in information technology and new digital media. Students seeking further training will have the necessary preparation for graduate study in photographic and electronic media programs.
