The Intermedia Art Programme responds to the development trend of contemporary art and interdisciplinary innovation. Adopting the fundamental philosophy of "internal and external integration and cross-over interaction", the Intermedia Art Programme adheres to the educational tenet of "exploring creativity from media and embodying humanity through technology". It emphasizes the social engagement and boundary expansion of contemporary art, and achieves the enhancement of artistic value through the in-depth integration of media and artistic concepts. The programme has established an educational framework featuring media experimentation, artistic creation, social consciousness and curatorial practice, and promotes interdisciplinary research and cross-field practice of contemporary art on international platforms. In professional teaching, the programme explores cutting-edge theories and technologies in the field of media art and provides pragmatic training in media technologies and creative methods. Meanwhile, it focuses on the intellectual cultivation of media theories and social thoughts, stresses comprehensive training in media skills and ideological methodologies, and transforms the academy into a laboratory for continuous knowledge innovation. The Intermedia Art Programme comprises three departments: Experimental Art, Open Media, and Media Scenography and Exhibition, as well as a Free Art Studio.
