[PD] Research and Graduate Schools

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

Hello all,

this is certainly off topic but I thought you would be a good group of 
people to ask. I am a year away from finishing my BFA and am wondering 
what to do afterwards. My main career interest is to be an 
artist/researcher in an academic setting. What graduate schools do 
people suggest that have good research programs in art/new media 
research? I would be interested in moving almost anywhere for the 
right program. 

I'm currently looking at MIT MediaLab - Computer Culture, The Art and 
Technology program at Chalmers University - Sweden, The Studio for 
creative inquiry at Carnegie Mellon, Hexgram at Concordia - Canada, 
ZKM, and UCSD. 

Anyone have any other suggestions? My research interests center 
around, data visualization, neural networks, genetic algorithms, 
virtual life, HCI and mass communication systems. I'm particularly 
interested in how these areas fit into art production. 

Thanks
Ben
