Course Objective.
Intermedia Communication Studio is a place for reflection between word, image, sound, space and presence in the context of 3t: transgression, transformation, transmedia.
The starting point is reality (everyday life), its interpretation and basic human relations. We search for answers overcoming our own limits by combining opposite elements (construction - deconstruction, defining - redefining).
Students collect appropriate tools (manual and digital), become familiar with the workshop and the techniques used in the studio. They get closer to authentic, elusive, non-verbalized sensations and find topics that will become the basis for building their diploma work. They acquire a different perspective of perception and further delve into the creative process between art and science.

The aim of education in the studio is to break stereotypes in thinking and practical action that hinder, prevent or delay the necessary development of each of us, above all in the field of interest of experience and exploration in art education in the term communication and intermedia and their interdependence.
The curriculum is designed to gradually and thoroughly prepare students to express themselves in intermedia communication and to acquire the skills needed for interdisciplinary group work, both in the internal and external artistic environment.
The culmination of coursework supported by the scientific and technical knowledge gained in class, the Master's degree is awarded.

Curriculum content (course content).
The Intermedia Communication Studio is a place of reflection between word, image, sound, space and presence for the 2nd year of the degree in the context of the 3t: transgression,
transformation, transmedia.
The Intermedia Communication Studio functions in the field of intermedia methods, areas and phenomena. It is a place of searching, experimenting and researching in the field of communication, intermedia and their mutual dependence. The starting point is reality (everyday life), its interpretation and basic human relations. It is a place of reflection between word, image, sound, space and presence.

The curriculum of the Intermedia Communication course assumes, apart from realizing selected concepts or resigning from them: intuitive action, improvisations that lead to conscious creation. Students find and collect appropriate tools (manual and digital) with which they feel comfortable and which they want to use. Referring one medium to another, and seeing one medium through another, brings answers to what context and relationship they wish to use their chosen means of expression.
Media Art Linguistically, Technologically, and Aesthetically.
Between Art and the Humanities.
The mediality of the above mentioned art in terms of perception, representation
and interpretation, also its relationality, processuality and contextuality, also for critical reflection.
We seek answers by combining opposing elements (construction - deconstruction, defining - redefining). We overcome our own limits. We try difficult, often intimate experiences. We experiment. We try to get closer to the elusive, non-verbalised sensations. We acquire a different perspective of perception and, further on, trying not to destroy the results already achieved, we delve more consciously into the creative process until the final practical work is created.
