Arts and Culture

These developments – among them, the role of the new media, the ever expanding culture industry and the rise of the 'creative industries' – have led to complex relationships between visual arts, architecture, media and society. Students of the VAMA research Master's will be trained to critically examine and discuss the visual and material manifestation, presentation and representation of these relationships. Courses will discuss the arts and the media as interacting domains and explore their reciprocal relationships, wider, socio-cultural context.
