UC Santa Barbara Media Arts and Technology Department Joins Leonardo  
Affiliate Membership Program

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.
