Mission Statement
The Brooklyn Experimental Media Center (BxmC) provides an interdisciplinary environment for media research at NYU-Poly, partnering faculty and students from the Integrated Digital Media program with collaborators from NYU-Poly, NYU, New York City, and beyond. Our research combines experimental practices in media arts and engineering, constantly modifying industry-standard technologies and creating new ones.
The program in Integrated Digital Media at NYU-Poly consists of both Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees that look at the field of digital media in a holistic way, as a spectrum of practices that runs the gamut from interaction design to performing arts research to photography, video, sound, and 3-D graphics, to games and human-computer interfaces. Our students are artists, engineers, and entrepreneurs working in extraordinarily fluid industries that reward the creative, the thoughtful, the technical, and the innovative.

This installation discovers discourses hidden in vast static image collections. Through an audio-visual synthesis of imagery, it aims to generate new discussions that are encoded in pictures. Driven by the interactions of an audience, a spectator is at once the composer and the observer.
