Program Description

Studying on BA (Hons) Fine Art Technology you will be at the forefront of future-focused exploration experimenting and developing emerging technology such as AR/VR (XR), AI and digital fabrication in the context of a fine art studio culture and technology. For instance, going back to the discovery of clear glass which was created by artists then appropriated by science and engineers to make the early instruments of chemistry, art plays its role in shaping the world around us. As an advanced society it's important we explore and experiment with all technology. What's more, as artists, we should look for new and original ways to communicate and interact with the new knowledge gained from exploring new technologies. You will be supported by yearly employability initiative Detour Ahead: Roadmaps for the Art and Design Industry, a week-long inter-disciplinary guest series offering you industry insights as well as guidance on subjects such as freelancing, copyright and tax.Studying fine art technology sets you up with the skills needed for a career in a variety of industries; art and technology, arts, design interaction, publishing, film and TV, teaching and more. 

Our staff teaching on the course all have national and international art practice outside of their teaching that they will draw from. Our staff are at the forefront of developing mixed reality (MR) applications and research into robot-human interaction, VR, interactive narrative, 360-degree video, volumetric video and photography.  We have in our lecturing team experienced UX researchers and developers whose areas of expertise involve developing MR applications on platforms ranging from the HTC Vive, Hololens, Magic Leap, Oculus, Kinect, iOS, Android, ARKit and more.
