!!DANM MFA Exhibition<br>
New digital technologies are revolutionizing the arts in contemporary society, rapidly transforming the way traditional arts are practiced and creating unlimited possibilities for new forms of artistic expression. At the same time, digital media have propelled the arts to the forefront of global culture, merging arts and communication in ways unimaginable just a decade ago. These new media are transcending cultural boundaries and opening new channels of artistic communication throughout the world.<br>
UCSC’s Digital Arts and New Media (DANM) Program was established in 2004 to address the increasingly central role of digital technology in the arts and to examine the impact of digital arts on human culture. This innovative program is at the forefront of a new discipline that merges the aesthetic and research work of a traditional university arts program with the creative and academic potential of digital media. DANM offers a two-year MFA program that brings together students and faculty from across the academic spectrum to collaborate on artistic practice and scholarly research.<br>
