Department of Art, Music & Technology

Program Directors:   Julie Harrison, Art & Technology
David Musial, Music & Technology

The Department of Art, Music & Technology (DAMT) at Stevens Institute of Technology is a newly formed area dedicated to the study and practice of art and music and its particular relationship to science and technology. The department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree as an Individualized Major in one of two programs: Art & Technology and Music & Technology. Both programs draw upon traditional as well as new art forms, offering the student a broad foundation in technical skills while encouraging experimentation with new ideas, genres, and models. Interdisciplinary investigation with one another and learning across the humanities as well as interdependence and collaboration between artist & scientist, artist & engineer, make it a uniquely transcultural and transpedagogical experience. While aesthetic criteria prevail, we foster practical experience with internships and work in the professional arena through our visiting artists program and partnering organizations in New York City. The Bachelor of Arts degrees in Art & Technology and Music & Technology prepare students to be well-versed in technical, critical, and conceptual skills, and provide the background necessary for pursuing further education and training, or professional placement in their respective fields.

DAMT faculty members are multidisciplinary and actively disseminate the results of their creative and scholarly work. They exhibit and perform internationally, are awarded prizes, fellowships, and awards at the highest levels and are regularly published. In practice and in teaching, the faculty represents a diversity of approaches and philosophies.

Visiting Artists

Every year leading artists in their fields are invited to work with our students. This aspect of the program enables students to go deeper into an area of interest, collaborate with the most cutting-edge thinkers and disciplines, and become involved with professionals as life-long mentors.

Facilities

The Department of Art, Music and Technology utilizes studios, classrooms, labs, galleries and performance spaces at Stevens Institute of Technology and in partnership with various institutions in New Jersey and New York City. The Media Arts Center will be available as a classroom and lab beginning in Fall 2005. When completed, the lab will contain seventeen Macintosh workstations with state-of-the art audio, video, and animation software, assorted audio and video equipment, and an isolation booth.

The Stevens Community

Stevens is one of the leading technological universities in the country with an established reputation for innovation in science, engineering, and technology. Against this backdrop, students in the art and music programs will have opportunities to find unique ways of merging their interest in technology with their passion for art or music, an opportunity not available in most academic institutions.
