Transart Institute today announced the workshops and seminars for this
years' summer residency. Workshop topics range from "Language and
Image" to "Archeology of Media", with seminars coming in flavors of
"Software as Metaphor" and "Documenta XII User Guide", to name a few.
The full program can be found at: http://transartinstitute.org/Pages/Summer_2007.html.

Applications to the low-residency MFA program are being accepted with
rolling admissions until June 1, 2006. Five places are reserved for
the final deadline to accommodate the European schedule.

Transart Institute's international MFA in New Media program is
designed for working artists to develop a sustainable creative praxis
in
- three summer residencies (17 days each) in Linz, Austria plus two
optional winter residencies in New York
- and two school years of independent project work with supporting
mentorships - wherever they work and live.

The innovative program focusses on content and context. Students work
in the genres which best communicate their ideas including animation,
architecture, curating, cyberart, digital and experimental media,
film, gaming, graphic design, installation, painting, performance,
photography, robotics, sculpture, sound, text, video, virtual reality.

The program is intended to lift the boundaries between applied and
fine arts, traditional and new media, artists and scholars. Students
are free to pursue work in any media art-related genre and to create
their own course of study. Detailed information is available on the
institute's website: www.transartinstitute.org and through email from:
