<metaname="description"content="The Master in Media Design & Communication is an intensive project-based research degree exploring the possibilities released by the friction between media and their related practices. The course does not believe in old media and new media, nor in the pattern of media extinctions that punctuate traditional media histories. Rather students exploit the resonances and gaps between photography, cinema, animation, software and computational culture. In publishing and documenting, students are expected to critically engage with the platforms and networks in which their work operate or are distributed."/>
