Art & Technology/ Sound Practices saic.edu/atsp Art and Technology / Sound Practices (AT/ SP) is a place to explore, critique, and imagine the potentials of artistic production with technology, sound, or their hybrid forms. Its faculty and curriculum foster rigorous experimentation, robust research, inclusivity, and the interrogation of history and theory.
World-class faculty The AT/SP faculty are visionary artists with national and international reputations who take an inclusive and critical approach to the technological and sonic arts. They encourage rigorous practice informed by robust research, iterative hands-on experimentation, and the interrogation of diverse histories, theories, and strategies.
Cutting-edge curriculum The AT/SP curriculum provides advanced technical and conceptual learning in a critical and supportive environment. Seminars and critiques encourage open, revelatory, and rigorous dialogues among peers investigating histories, futures, theories, and practices in the technological and sonic arts. These are complemented by a continually evolving departmental workshop series connected to AT/SP labs and facilities and a wealth of advanced undergraduate studio courses that cover specific technologies, processes, or strategies within the AT/SP fields of study.
Practices and resources Students have access to a wealth of digital and analog resources, purpose-built labs and studios, and expert support staff. These facilitate a wide range of practices including creative coding, sound art, olfactory art, bio art, experimental music, acoustic ecology, installation, performance, AR, VR, games, kinetics, neon, holography, electronics, and more.
