Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences Media Creations Course
IAMAS was founded as an educational institution for a new age in which industry, art, and lifestyle are intimately connected and new relationships between disciplines are coalescing thanks to the advancement of technology. The base of our research and education lies in a “knowledge of creation” that is constantly in touch with society.
“Media Creation” is the idea of giving form to communication and information through various activities in society. Through design and planning, the existence of this “knowledge of creation” is reconsidered using cutting-edge information technology.
The goal of IAMAS is to cultivate high-level creators and researchers who approach the creative process from a wider viewpoint and combine specialized technology with philosophical, artistic expression.
