The fine arts computer lab is currently equipped with 12 Mac G4 and 4 PC workstations. Many stations include flatbed and slide scanners, as well as several stations with digital video editing equipment. The lab is equiped with a wide variety of current software.
This lab is available to graduate and undergratuate students taking Electronic Arts and Digital Photography classes, and as well as on an individual basis, contingent upon approval and payment of a lab use fee.

In addition to the computer lab, there is a computer classroom on campus for use by Art and Art History students enrolled in Electronic Arts and Digital Photography classes. This classroom includes 25 Mac G4 workstations and an Agfa flatbed scanner.

Electronic Arts is a newly formed area in the Art and Art History Department at the College of Fine Arts. This area is dedicated to the development and refinement of students’ skills as artists using the most current “new media” tools and building on an understanding of contemporary and historical art practice using these media. The program encourages experimentation with new ideas, forms and models for realizing and presenting artwork. The curriculum combines history, theory and practice in electronic arts, and strongly encourages interdisciplinary investigation and learning.

Classes focus on topics of interactivity, time-based applications and the integration of computer-based work into broader contexts such as Internet art, performance, installation and video. Critiques center on conceptual, formal and technical approaches to students’ work and media.
