The Division of Expanded Media recognizes the ways in which these technological developments, arising out of the common interest and vision of artists, engineers, and computer programmers to invent new ways of imaging, sounding, and understanding the world, are especially significant to all of these art forms. Each area within the division strives to offer the experience, knowledge, skills, and understanding of the tradition of each discipline combined with the creative vision necessary to expand the potential inherent to each medium.

This parallel approach within the division simultaneously provides a strong foundation that prepares young artists to explore the range of possibilities within a singular medium as well as the flexibility to approach the infinite possibilities for hybrid forms continually emerging in contemporary art. Rather than placing the emphasis on new media,which suggests a separation between the new and traditional, the division emphasizes the idea and process of expanding media.

The Division of Expanded Media is comprised of faculty whose experience is grounded in extensive backgrounds within each area,who within their own work and area within the division have a common interest in investigating what the new tools of digital technology offer each medium.
