ACE–Arts Computation Engineering–is UC Irvine’s new transdisciplinary graduate program in digital arts and sciences. Directed by noted interactive media artist and theorist Simon Penny, ACE currently offers three master’s degree programs, with concentrations in either engineering, fine arts, or information science/computer science. A Ph.D. program is under development. Oriented toward originators of “novel techno-cultural formations, makers of machines, environments, and nonstandard technical systems,” ACE offers “a new model for relating media arts to technical development.” Email: ace at uci dot edu.
