What is our mission?
The Theory of Interactive Media (TIM) focuses on the study of new media art. The new media art refers to a wide range of artistic works and practices that reflect a key aspect of contemporary civilization – the pervasiveness and transformative impact on culture and society of information and communication technologies (ICT). The mission of the study programme is to balance the instrumental and utilitarian approach of informatics and computer science to the study of ICT by investigating creative ways to deal with new media.New media in art and culture.
What are our students?
The TIM study programme is particularly suitable for the ‘born digital’ generation, which is equipped with computer literacy by playing computer games, through relationships built across on-line social networks and the physical world, and by creating their own audio/visual works in the new media environment in which it is natural to see the computer as a tool and a place of creativity and interactivity.
What can our graduates do?
Graduates of the TIM Bachelor’s degree study programme are oriented in the history of new media art, they are equipped with a basic arsenal of art studies and media studies terminology and methodology, and they have practical skills from the fields of academic writing, art criticism, and new media creative practices even.
What makes us unique?
TIM is the only study programme focusing on new media studies in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic which offers both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. It is provided by qualified professionals with rich teaching experience who are often actively involved in organizing festivals, curating exhibitions, and producing new media art.
Practical training
Practical training at cultural institutions is part of the type B/selective courses of the TIM study programme. During the six-semester study programme, students can complete two courses of practical training at cultural institutions (I and II), at a minimal extent of 80 hours each, in which they gain practical experiences in cultural institution workflow, festival organization, and independent art scene practice with a focus on new media in art and culture. The institution in which the practical training is taken is chosen after consultation with the guarantor of the subject. Usually it is a media institution, gallery, museum, or festival of new media art in the Czech Republic or abroad.
