Area Chair Message
Today the Visual Industry is an inspiring flux worldwide. The slant and scope of our pedagogy gives our students a clear ability to understand the nature of the flux and predict what is to come.
The rapid pace at which Generative Intelligence is impacting Art, Design and Technology is bringing a radical shift in teaching Aesthetics and Storytelling. Equipping our students by giving them a vocabulary to use it creatively, responsibly and ethically is our new vision. It sits in the development of their conceptual abilities more than ever before. Our mission is to invoke in them new thought processes for developing narrative content and dexterity in evolving technologies. Be it for Animation Cinema, Cinema or Gaming, our pedagogy garners wider worldviews and a thrust into research methodologies to augment the new agent, ‘prompt engineering’.
