Digital Environment Design

Digital information has become a fundamental commodity of our time: it is of interest in almost all manifestations of human life and brings a radical modification of processes of production, experience and culture. We are increasingly dependent upon multimedia technologies, and modern society is now in a period in which types and modes of sensorial perceptions are being modified. Such a process of hybridization determines new dynamics of knowledge, in which thought processes are caused by integration of stimulus received from the natural perception system with information originating from artificial devices, revealing phenomena which was previously invisible, if not even unimaginable: the mix of telematic networks, data flows, stimulation models characterise a new dimension of reality. In the most innovative institutions of the information society, the various fields of cultural production, performing arts, design and the exhibition industry, there is a growing demand for professionals who can interpret these changes.
With the launch of the Master in Digital Environment Design, a new space has been opened for research and experimentation that can adequately represent the content and dynamics of this new context.
