The Division will offer both research and taught postgraduate programs to equip students with the ability to integrate new technologies into their creative processes and fields of interests. The Division’s main areas of focus are: Machine creativity Machine-assisted art practice Art management Critical studies on arts and machine creativity Prospective Students Aspiring managers and innovators who envision leading the intersection of arts and technology, blending administrative acumen with creative insight to drive the future of creative industries Artists with a substantive portfolio, seeking to deepen their creative practice through advanced technology, fostering a professional mastery of art that resonates in the digital age Scholars with a solid foundation in the arts and a demonstrated potential for technological innovation, ready to embark on rigorous research that pushes the boundaries of art-tech convergence Research Postgraduate Programs Master of Philosophy/ Doctor of Philosophy in Arts and Machine Creativity The Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy programs are designed for students focused on advanced research and scholarly exploration in the field of arts and machine creativity. The research programs offer opportunities for in-depth study and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the discipline, pushing the boundaries of the integration of art and technology. Applicants are required to develop a research plan in the form of a written proposal. Prior to submitting the application, applicants are encouraged to form a research team consisting of at least two faculty members from diverse academic backgrounds, with one member from the Division of Arts and Machine Creativity serving as the prime supervisor. Such an arrangement serves the purpose of converging arts and machine creativity research. For example, an applicant intending to conduct research in AI music would benefit from receiving advisement from a secondary supervisor with a background in music performance. While it is not mandatory, applicants with a similar academic background who demonstrate efforts to form such a research team would stand out in the screening process. MPhil PhD Taught Postgraduate Program Master of Arts in Arts and Machine Creativity The Master of Arts in Arts and Machine Creativity program is an interdisciplinary program that provides students with an understanding of the full impact of artistic and machine creativity, as well as the professional skills to develop and implement innovative solutions for current and emerging global challenges. Designed for students who seek a comprehensive understanding of the intersection between art and technology, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical application. The program emphasizes critical analysis and examines legal and business issues from social, cultural and management perspectives, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Non-Homogenous Tokens (NFT).
