Master Study Interface Cultures at University of Art and Design in  
Linz Austria
(4 semester)

http://www.interface.ufg.ac.at/

The Interface Culture masters degree program, founded by media  
artists Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau, is an artistic- 
scientific study to educated media artists and media researchers in  
creative and innovative interface and interaction design.

The study lasts two years and concentrates on project-oriented and  
theory-based training in interactive digital media, combining art  
with research, the development of projects and prototypes with  
scholarly publication.

Subjects thought include: interactive art, interaction design, game  
design, tangible interfaces, auditory interfaces, fashionable  
technologies, wearable devices, intelligent ambiences, sensor  
technologies, telecommunication and new experimental forms of human- 
machine, human-human and machine-machine interactions.

Artistic expressions include among others: interactive art, net art,  
software art, robotic art, sound art, noise art, games and story  
telling, mobile art as well as new hybrid areas like genetic art, bio  
art, space art and nano art.

A specialty of the program is its strong collaboration with the Ars  
Electronica in Linz, where students can show their projects on a  
yearly basis and thus get in contact with the top experts of the  
media art and design field. Previous projects of student works at Ars  
Electronica 2005 can be found at: http://www.interface.ufg.ac.at/
