The Master Media Design & Communication: Networked Media is
internationally known as the new media study programme at the Piet Zwart
Institute. We offer a Master programme focused on a critical engagement
with the culture of the Internet and computer media, their artistic
design, technology and theory. We are a small, English-taught, two-year
full-time Master course with a multidisciplinary community and have a
strong emphasis on personal contact and collaboration. Our students,
faculty members and guests come, among others, from the USA, France,
Serbia, Italy, Austria, Pakistan, Turkey, and our 24/7 studio
facilities allow you to make our school your workplace.
We offer a challenging programme with trimestrial thematic projects,
theoretical discussions and technical sessions. Next to studying
networked media through practice and theoretical research, you will
share select courses and group critiques with Lens-based Media staff
and students. This other specialisation within the Master Media Design
& Communication programme, explores the potential of digital Lens-based
imagery. Parallel to group learning, students also receive strong
tutorial support through weekly individual meetings with staff and
guests.
Whether you are a graphic designer wanting to develop your digital
media practice more thoroughly, an audiovisual artist interested in a
more informed and self-made media practice, an architect interested in
media as systems that impose social possibilities and constraints, a
media activist wanting to develop both practical and theoretical tools
of intervention, a computer and electronics experimenter wanting to
sharpen her or his artistic concepts, a media artist/designer looking
for research-oriented study in an international community of peers -
this is what our programme makes possible.

Free and Open Source Software:
Our Master program strives for the creation of media, instead of

Free and Open Source Software are an important aspect of our course,
philosophically and technologically.
