The Master's Degree course in Information Design investigates new possibilities for artistic creation in the post-information age. Students in the course join one of four research groups, each with its own distinct research theme. Collaboration within each research group fosters a high level of creative output.
- Media & Installation Research Group
(Faculty: Shiro Takahashi, Hiroyuki Moriwaki) - Media Art Research Group
(Faculty : Akihiro Kubota, Seiko Mikami) - Image & Memory Research Group
(Faculty: Chihiro Minato, Naruaki Sasaki) - Future Cinema Research Group
(Faculty: Daizaburo Harada)
In addition to the creation of individual art work, students in the Master's Degree Course of Information Design are required to complete a written thesis, in which they elaborate upon the planning and thought processes they undertook in creating their art work.
