 The Digital Media program at SFAI promotes technology not as an end in itself, but as a powerful tool for solving creative problems. Our focus is on how digital media allow the artist to realize their creative ideas-in the same ways other disciplines do. As quickly as a student's skills permit, the emphasis becomes on creating work in which the platform and software become transparent.

The computer is a multidisciplinary instrument that breaks traditional boundaries that divide the disciplines of photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, film, and video. As the computer platform becomes second nature, students are encouraged to look beyond what is currently achievable, and consider what can be done to create digital work that illuminates, that shows how digital art is a unique medium. We encourage Digital Media students to explore telematics, reproducibility, online identity, virtual environments, live video streaming, and other areas of artistic experimentation.
