At the core of the DANM program is the pursuit of digital and new media art as a research practice in the context of collaborative research project groups. Beginning in spring of the students' first year, these groups engage in the development of faculty initiated research in Mechatronics, Participatory Culture, Performative Technologies, and Playable Media.

!!!Opportunities for Applicants for Fall 2010
  Applicants are asked to indicate the collaborative research project group in which they intend to participate if accepted into the program. Spring 2011-Winter 2012 Projects will be announced in early January, well in advance of the February 15 application deadline.

!!!Collaborative Research Project Group Focus Areas
  These four foci define both the overall research profile of the DANM program and the research that will be pursued in the collaborative research project groups. Collaborative research projects are advertised and prospective students asked to identify their preference in their application and statement of purpose. Because project groups factor into admissions, selected project group leaders make a commitment to participate in the admissions process.
