The Brooklyn Experimental Media Center (BxmC) is the research arm of Integrated Digital Media (IDM) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering in MAGNET.
We perform research that is implicitly interdisciplinary and outward-facing, working with departments and programs from NYU Engineering, CUSP, and NYU in partnership with outside organizations ranging from city agencies to performing arts centers to non-profit organizations. Our goals in research are to combine the best of experimental practices in the creative and scientific community to create synergistic areas of inquiry that look at media as a creative practice in an engineering context. The BxmC is located at NYU's Media and Games Network (MAGNET).
The Brooklyn Experimental Media Center (BxmC) provides an interdisciplinary environment for media research at the Integrated Digital Media Program at NYU Engineering, partnering faculty and students from the Integrated Digital Media program with collaborators from NYU Engineering, NYU, CUSP, New York City, and beyond. Our research combines experimental practices in media arts and engineering, constantly modifying industry-standard technologies and creating new ones.
The academic programs in Integrated Digital Media at NYU Engineering consist of both Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees that look at the field of digital media in a holistic way, as a spectrum of practices that runs the gamut from interaction design to performing arts research to photography, video, sound, and 3-D graphics, to games and human-computer interfaces. Our students are artists, engineers, and entrepreneurs working in extraordinarily fluid industries that reward the creative, the thoughtful, the technical, and the innovative.
