About the Program

The program focuses on extensions of reality, situated between media and cultural theory with close contacts to other artistic and design practices. It encourages students to question clichés and expand conventional boundaries about what extensions of reality might entail, linking a hands-on practical approach to historical, philosophical, and political research. The program views media and games as extensions of ourselves, following Marshall McLuhan's concept that media and technology are 'extensions of man'. It emphasizes that interaction with media and fascination with games are fundamental aspects of human experience. Graduates can pursue careers in game design, VR and AR development, academic research, or as independent artists and designers.
