Cre­ativ­ity is a major activ­ity in our human soci­ety. It is also the first step towards inno­va­tion.
In today’s dig­i­tal world, cre­ativ­ity is within reach of most stu­dents, from high school to uni­ver­sity, from art schools to engi­neer­ing fac­ul­ties, thanks to widely avail­able open soft­ware and hard­ware.
… Three good rea­sons to teach dig­i­tal art tech­nolo­gies to our stu­dents at UMONS!

Bach­e­lor level

At the Bach­e­lor level, our teach­ing approach is based on projects, intro­duced by hands-on workshops:

  • Creactions — Intro­duc­tion to Dig­i­tal Art Tech­nol­ogy, with demos; First steps in Pure­Data and Pro­cess­ing; Indi­vid­ual project
  • Connections – Pro­gram­ming the Arduino; Con­nect­ing it to Pure­Data and Pro­cess­ing; Using OSC mes­sages; Work­ing with sev­eral com­put­ers; Col­lec­tive project
  • Pro­grammactions – Intro­duc­tion to Open­Frame­works; Using libraries; Com­pil­ing on iOS; Design­ing inter­ac­tion; Advanced project

All work­shops are given in French, and orga­nized dur­ing evenings.
They are also open to stu­dents of the Pôle Hain­uyer (which includes tech­ni­cal schools and art schools in the area of Mons).
The intro­duc­tory level course (Creactions) is addi­tion­ally open to sec­ondary school students.

Mas­ter Level

At the Mas­ter level, var­i­ous dis­ci­plines of dig­i­tal art tech­nol­ogy are taught in sev­eral cur­ric­ula at UMONS, some of them in English:

  • Elec­tri­cal Engi­neer­ing – spe­cial­ism in Mul­ti­me­dia and Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions (MA1, MA2)
  • Com­puter Engi­neer­ing – spe­cial­ism in Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems Man­age­ment (MA1, MA2)
  • Com­puter Sci­ence (MA1, MA2)
  • Mechan­i­cal Engi­neer­ing – spe­cial­ism in Con­trol Sys­tems (MA1, MA2)

Stu­dents have access to the NUMEDIART Lab, in which researchers develop research projects, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with artists and cre­ative com­pa­nies.
In the near future, they will also ben­e­fit from the UMONS FabLab, which will open at Q2 2012.
