Maryland Institute College of Art Maryland Institute College of Art, which celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2001, has consistently been named among the top four visual arts colleges in the nation. Committed to providing an environment that fully realizes the technical, aesthetic, and philosophical promise of the new imaging and information technologies, MICA has a number of programs that prepare students to assume leadership roles in realizing the implications and power of electronic media for the 21st century. Included in MICA's offerings are graduate programs in Digital Arts and Photography and Digital Imaging and undergraduate programs in Interactive Media, Digital Animation, and Video. In response to a need for research into the ways in which technology based imaging and communication can advance the needs of culture, science, and business, MICA has recently formed the Center for New Media. The Center seeks to partner with arts organizations, educational institutions, and local technology industries to undertake collaborative initiatives. It also provides a forum for the Community to explore the impact of information and expressive technologies on contemporary culture. In 2001-2002, the Center is hosting the New Media Forum, a series of four panels that look at culture and technology from a variety of critical perspectives. The next panel will be held on February 21st at 7:00 p.m. in MICA's Station Auditorium (Cathedral & Mount Royal Ave.). Moderated by Will Larson, Director of Graduate Photography and Digital Imaging, the panel will discuss issues related to "Situated Realities: Works from the Silicon Elsewhere," an exhibition that will run in MICA's Decker Gallery from February 1 through March 17, 2002. The panel and exhibition are free and open to all interested public. In 2003, MICA will open the Brown Center Art & Design Technology Building, home for new and existing digital and electronic arts programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Brown Center will be an architectural landmark for Baltimore, a physical symbol of the city's growing national prominence in technology and design, and the first critical facility in the implementation of the College's exciting vision for the future.
