Throughout my life, the three interests of educating myself about different mediums of art, using new mediums for creative storytelling, and applying my knowledge of computer science to new technologies have always conflicted for my attention and focus in various ways that contribute to my life goals and personal characteristics. Some of the mediums I have studied and developed projects for include film, animated novels, video games, and virtual reality. I am fascinated by fictional stories based on interesting people and places, and I desire to extend the scope of my education to understand a broad range of art and media technologies in order to apply my interests toward more creative storytelling on new mediums. My interest in computer science …show more content…

Since this early exposure, I have studied computer science in order to create applications, games, and simulations that allow people to see the world differently. I am always actively seeking ways to assemble my interests in film, storytelling, science, mathematics, and technology to form new projects and ideas that will lead to new experiences of multi-media art. Ultimately, I believe that the Digital Arts and Media BDP is the academic bridge that I need to relate my interests in multi-media entertainment and storytelling with my college career of developing innovative computer applications, simulations, and games in order to develop groundbreaking new uses of …show more content…

The biggest aspect of the Digital Arts and Media program that stands out to me is the final creative project required by all students. My goals leading up to this project are to get to know other students in the program to build upon ideas together and to develop several smaller projects that will give me the skills necessary to develop something great at the end. Whether my final BDP project be an island adventure game that implements a strong narrative that emphasizes isolation, or a virtual reality application that allows users to engross themselves in an immersive social network I have programmed, it is certain that the Digital Arts and Media BDP will give me the extra cross disciplinary study needed to turn outside-of-the-box ideas into outside-of-the-box realities that culminate my interests from various multi-media

I always knew I was going to spend the four years after school pursuing computer science and engineering. And surprisingly I didn’t choose this career path simply because of my immense passion for computers. I chose it because deep down I knew computers are the means to solving most of the problems the world faces today and shape a better tomorrow. I walked into Manipal Institute of Technology with great aspirations about my future, and these past fifty months have only solidified my resolve. I’ve not only learnt computer science here at MIT, I’ve learn about life, and how to apply my knowledge to better the lives of the people around me, and those all over the world.

So far everything I’ve done outside of my coding lessons has been to boost myself in aspects of computer programming we normally don’t think about, the more artistic and businesslike aspects of the field. Considering the actual act of programming, my teachers both in and out of school have taught me all they can offer, this is why I’m trying to continue my education at UT. What I can do now is prepare myself to broaden my scope of thinking and focus on my abilities to work with and build off of other people, which in the end improves my actual coding skills. I know that if I combine the mentalities of a programmer, a businesswoman, and an artist, I can create games that give people the same amazement I

Though I mainly played video games on the computer, I was always amazed by the graphics of every game I played, and I wondered how these computers worked. My oldest brother gave me his old computer when I was nine; I realized I finally had what I always wanted and used it to play, and, out of curiosity, I researched the intricacies of computer engineering. As I discovered more about software programs and hardware devices from articles, forums and practical research, my interest in them increased and computers have now become one of my passions. Even though I was using computers to play games as a child, I made that play helpful to improve my work ethic instead of allowing it to hinder me most of the time. From first to sixth grade, my school had a computer teacher who was not helpful at all.

For so long, people have discounted the arts as being hobbies and STEM as being the only respectable path. Fairly recently though, some universities have began to consider the value of the arts as a companion to STEM programs. There are some professors who feel that making the transition from STEM to STEAM would be nothing but a distraction to the students. They think that if students are already having difficulty remaining focused in class, that the addition of something else would be counterproductive. On the other hand, there are some who are beginning to see that there is something special about the creativity that STEAM brings.

Some interpret digital humanities in a more specialized manner and characterize it as developing digital content and creating tools for collection–building, authoring, editing, and analyzing. There are three general frames that can be used to understand the domain of digital humanities: • Digital media as a facilitator of scholarly communication • Digital media as a platform for creative expression and artistic endeavors • Critical studies of digital culture Frame 1: Digital media as a facilitator of scholarly communication This frame positions information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an enabler of scholarly communication to support a range of processes depicted in Figure 1 in order to create, represent, organize, analyze and communicate scholarly content.. This frame represents initial conceptualization of ICTs as knowledge containers and conduits for enhancing teaching, learning, and research.
