The program
The Interactive Art Research Master is a two-year program focusing on interactive art, and is for students, artists, and scientists looking to establish a shared theory and practice. This unique program brings together the Humanities, Art, and the Digital Sciences and was founded in 2009, thanks to a partnership between the European School of Visual Arts and the University of Poitiers. This latter is responsible for teaching part of the theory program and for the methodological framework.

The program aims to develop an original ideology of technology and science in the field of art. The teaching involves theory classes, practical courses, and workshops led by internationally renowned artists. The program also aims to foster the autonomy of the students in matters relating to the development of artistic concepts, the production of material or immaterial systems, as well as the formulation of artistic issues.
