Transart Institute today announced the workshops and seminars for this years' summer

Applications to the international low-residency MFA program are being accepted with 
rolling admissions until June 1, 2006. Five places are reserved for the final deadline to 
accommodate the European schedule. 

Transart Institute's international MFA in New Media program is designed for working 
artists to develop a sustainable creative praxis in
— three summer residencies (17 days each) in Linz, Austria plus two optional winter 
residencies in New York
— and two school years of independent project work with supporting mentorships - 
wherever they work and live.

The innovative program focusses on content and context. Students work in the genres 
which best communicate their ideas including animation, architecture, curating, cyberart, 
digital and experimental media, film, gaming, graphic design, installation, painting, 
performance, photography, robotics, sculpture, sound, text, video, virtual reality.

The program is intended to lift the boundaries between applied and fine arts, traditional 
and new media, artists and scholars. Students are free to pursue work in any media art-
related genre and to create their own course of study. Detailed information is available on 
the institute's website: www.transartinstitute.org and through email from:
