<img src="img/MATlogo.jpg" align="left"><br><br><br>Media Arts and Technology (MAT) at the University of California Santa Barbara is a transdisciplinary graduate program that fuses emergent media, computer science, engineering, electronic music, digital art research, practice, production, and theory. Created by faculty in both the College of Engineering and the College of Letters and Science, MAT offers an unparalleled opportunity for working at the frontiers of art, science, and technology, where new art forms are born and new expressive media are invented. MAT seeks to define and create the future of media art and media technology. Research at MAT explores the limits of what is possible in technologically sophisticated art and media, from both artistic and engineering perspectives. Combining art, science, and engineering, MAT graduate studies provide students with a combination of critical and technical tools that prepare them for leadership roles in artistic, engineering, entrepreneurial, educational, and research endeavors.
