As part of the growing culture of indigenization at Emily Carr, NMSA offers aboriginal storytelling and indigenous approaches to new media research and production.NMSA allows for open-ended inquiry, examining how art and technology can contribute towards positive social change. NMSA proposes critical investigations into making: How can technologies provide new methods of telling stories? How can technologies provide inquiry into the changing roles of artists and publics? Can technologies assist our physical relationship to the world? Can technologies enhance our perceptions, our hearing and seeing? How may technologies help support ecological relations with the earth? Students in the NMSA major are encouraged to develop their artistic voice within a context of contemporary and historical practices, and to develop meaningful engagement with social concerns. I want to find another Bachelor Course NMSA provides students with links to communities of professionals by forging opportunities with internal practitioners and researchers, and external organizations.
