Dear All, Please circulate and forward the ad below to interested (and especially female) students. thanks! b The interdisciplinary graduate program ACE (Arts Computation Engineering) at the University of California, Irvine, is now accepting applications for Fall 2004 admission. Please refer to the ACE website www.ace.uci.edu <http://www.ace.uci.edu/> for program information and application instructions. The ideal candidate will have a history of interdisciplinary interests, represented by dual undergraduate degrees, a double major, or major/minor, that integrate Arts, Engineering and/or Computer Science, or a degree in a relevant field and demonstrated relevant experience. Experience in interdisciplinary digital arts practice and in negotiating the intersections of research, engineering and arts, aesthetically and theoretically, is expected. By definition, such a candidate will be atypical, and may be characterized as an engineer with an artistic bent, an artist with a technical bent, or an artist/technologist with an interest in social science or cultural theory, etc. ACE encourages socially engaged work and a critical position with respect to digital media and computer technology is desirable. Grounding in critical theory and/or cultural studies will be an asset.
