<blockquote type="cite" cite><b>NEW HASS VISUAL ARTS
MINOR </b></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The MIT Program in Art, Culture &
Technology (ACT) (formerly called the Visual Arts Program) announces
the establishment of a new HASS Minor in Visual Arts. The
VAP already offers a HASS Concentration in Visual Arts as well as
a Major, a Bachelor of Science in Art and Design (BSAD), Visual
Arts Discipline Stream, awarded by the Department of
Architecture.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The new HASS Visual Arts minor will
expand the opportunities available to undergraduates to pursue an
interest in hands-on artistic</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>practice and critical debate, to gain
skills and critical understanding in new genre art, including
time based media, public art, interrogative design, photography,
networked cultures, the production of space, artistic research
and transdisciplinary study. The minor builds on the
previously-existing concentration.</blockquote>
