Welcome to U-Me New Media
U-Me New Media at a glance
Welcome
To people unfamiliar with new media, this site's home page may seem to offer a bewildering array of topics and technologies. That's not surprising, because the field of new media spans a variety of practices, from software art to student cinema to game design. The New Media program at the University of Maine embraces this diversity, offering course sequences in documentary, interactive, narrative, time-based, and networked media.
Underlying this program's broad range of subjects, however, are a set of essential threads--cultural, technical, and creative--that run through every course. Whether you're studying DHTML or Derrida, your teachers may ask you to look at new media from the perspective of a philosopher, a programmer, or an artist. In today's rapidly changing cultural and economic landscape, this range of perspectives gives graduates of U-Me's New Media program an edge over their peers who graduate with a single skill or preoccupation.
