Course Summary

Develop a deep understanding of critical and experimental media production, creation and design practice.

Digital Direction focuses on inclusive and relevant storytelling, exploring emerging technologies like VR, AR, AI, games engines and mobile platforms. We inspire communication practitioners to approach contemporary communication critically and find meaningful ways to tell stories. We welcome arts practitioners, journalists, writers, musicians and others interested in experimenting with new narrative approaches driven by ethical, environmental, epistemological and social imperatives. You’ll use emerging storytelling tools critically, collaborating to share important stories.

You might develop research-led communication strategies addressing urgent urban housing needs and environmental threats. Or collaborate with communities to create augmented documentaries, social VR experiences, or explore machine-generated narratives. Investigate human and nonhuman intelligence, engage with political or intercultural issues, or experiment with storytelling guided by nature.

We seek diverse creative and critical practitioners passionate about storytelling for positive change. Join us and foster an inclusive practice, leverage emerging media's power, and unlock new storytelling possibilities for the benefit of all.
