Designed around a revolutionary new model of \ncreative practice, scientific research and discovery at the frontier of \narts and sciences, the programs expanded research praxis focuses on the \ncreation and study of radically new genres of digital and experimental \narts and culture. Degree concentrations in DXARTS range from visual and \naural synthesis, computational simulation, computer modeling and \nanimation, spatial imaging and VR, database and interface, algorithmic \nprocesses, computer music composition, sensing and control systems, HCI,\n embedded performance systems, telematics, robotics, and mechatronics.\u003C\/p\u003E\n        \n        \n\n\n    \n            \n                      \n              \u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\n                    \u003Cp\u003EShawn Brixey is currently the Floyd and Delores \nJones Endowed Chair in Arts and Sciences, Co-founder and former Director\n of the Center in Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS) at the \nUniversity of Washington, Seattle. He is the former founder and Director\n of the Digital Media Program at UC Berkeley, and has been the architect\n of five major digital media programs across the U.S. in the past \nfifteen years. His graduate degree is from MIT in media arts and \nscience, where he studied at the Media Lab. He has exhibited \ncommissioned art and technology works widely in Europe and the U.S. \nincluding Documenta, the Deutscher Kunstlerbunde, Cranbrook, the MIT \nMuseum, the Chicago Art Institute, and the Winter Olympics in Nagano \nJapan. He has received numerous grants, awards and fellowships for \ncreative work in this field including, Leica, Hughes Aircraft, IBM, \nIntel, Apple, The National Institute of Health, The National Endowment \nfor the Arts, and a 2003 Rockefeller Fellowship. Rockefeller Alumni \ninclude Bill Viola, Gary Hill and Kynn Hershman. In 2004 he was selected\n winner of the Editors Choice Award, in Popular Science Magazine\u0027s \n\u0022World Design Challenge\u201d. In 2009 he served as the Chair of the Virtual \nand New Media Directorate for the \u201cCanadian Foundation for Innovation\u201d. \nThe Canadian research foundation awards more than $400M annually for \nnational research in science and technology. His works have been \nreviewed and showcased in diverse media and print sources including the \nNew York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Kunst Forum, NPR, PBS \nTelevision, and Wolkenkratser, Germany.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"From Simulation to Emulation: Pioneering Telematic Art in the 21st Century"}],"uid":"27197","created_gmt":"2010-10-19 16:47:26","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:53:16","author":"Renata Le Dantec","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-10-28T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2010-10-28T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-10-28T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-10-28 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-10-28 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-10-28 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"},{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"50876","name":"School of Interactive Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4096","name":"brown bag"},{"id":"1946","name":"GVU"},{"id":"8494","name":"HCI"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
