All-School­ / Inter­disciplinary

Studies in interdisciplinary media, as well as in film and video, are not formal areas of study in the School of Art; however, a number of students work primarily in film/video or interdisciplinary media while enrolled in other areas.

The School offers graduate video courses taught by practicing video artists. These classes address fundamental technical issues as well as the far more challenging questions of the contemporary practice of video by artists and this medium’s relation to other forms of art practice. Classes in video are taught in a variety of locations throughout the School of Art and are attended by students from all areas of study.

Interdisciplinary workshops are a significant aspect of the All-School/Interdisciplinary course offerings in the School of Art.

Current workshops include “The Sensitive Machine,” a cooperation with the Center for Engineering Innovation and Design (CEID). Led by Sarah Oppenheimer, Yale School of Art, and Joseph Zinter, Yale School of Engineering, “The Sensitive Machine,” is a four-day interdisciplinary workshop that explores the homology between human and mechanized gesture.
