Most students at the University of Maine complete their studies with a "capstone" project, a culminating effort of research and production. In the New Media Department a key step leading up to capstone is Project Design Lab 1, a class for incubating and developing new creative projects. Both sections of Project Design Lab 1 will showcase their work at Idea Expo, an evening event coming up on April 23rd and held, fittingly, at UMaine's new Foster Student Innovation Center!

MARCH_2009. Academia's goal may be the free exchange of ideas, but up to now many universities have been wary--if not downright dismissive--of their professors using the Internet and other digital media to supercharge that exchange. Yet in a signal that digital scholarship is the future, the latest issue of MIT's Leonardo magazine showcases the recently approved academic guidelines of the University of Maine's New Media Department as a model for other universities to consider.
The Intermedia MFA hosted a series of visiting artists this fall semester. The series drew it's inspiration from the annual Without Borders Festival, Seriously, Funny, through highlighting the use of humor as social, political or cultural critique. All of the visiting artists shared their expertise through an evening public lecture with question and answer period to follow, as well as classroom visits and direct one-on-one student meetings.
Please join us Friday, December 12th, from 5-7pm, for the opening of Freese Pop, featuring works by graduate students in the new Intermedia MFA Program at the University of Maine. We invite you to experience site specific installations, exploring themes relating to the building, its history and the artists' relationship to the community.
