Overview About the programThe New Media Art program at the University of North Texas is an interdisciplinary studio arts program in hybrid and experimental art. New media art teaches artists to manipulate technology the same way a sculptor molds clay or a painter transforms a canvas.The program combines new technology (electronics, the Internet or computer and communications technology) with more traditional art forms (photography, fibers or sculpture). The results are often highly personal and novel works.Our graduates use their creative, technical and professional skills as practicing artists or in Master of Fine Arts degree programs.
