The Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) offers students the all-too rare and incredibly valuable opportunity to experiment, take risks, fail spectacularly, embrace chaos, test limits, and experience meaningful growth. Through highly collaborative yet self-directed study, SIM students discover their full artistic potential and work closely with other innovative thinkers and makers. SIM majors work with experimental media, sound, light, motion, digital tools, live performance, public practice, interactive installations, print and spoken word, and event production.
SIM felt like a community of artists all working in wildly different ways, but with a shared sense of curiosity and possibility. The program and faculty gave me the space—and encouragement—to explore ideas first, without being confined to a specific medium or discipline.
