ITP is a two-year graduate program located in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University whose mission is to explore the imaginative uses of media and technology — how they might augment, improve and bring delight and art into people’s lives. Perhaps the best way to describe us is a Center for the Recently Possible.

The ITP Thesis is taught as a class during the second year of the two-year period. Students develop an individual project or their own choosing from concept to a proof-of-concept prototype. To take an idea and make it real, students are expected to find out what they don’t know; to be ready for change, anticipate it; to follow their passions, trust their instinct; to find their own strengths and deepen them; to be willing to experiment, fail, and try again. In addition to demonstrating the specific skills that they have learned during the program, the faculty expects Thesis projects to display these qualities.

The Capstone course asks IMA undergraduate students to produce an interactive project (with documentation), a research paper, and a personal portfolio.

The interactive projects illustrate students’ unique interests as well as evidence of competency within the field of interactive media production. Students are encouraged to develop their project around a theme previously explored in their work. Projects will be presented and critiqued repeatedly throughout the capstone process to peers, faculty, and industry professionals. This week, the final presentations of these interactive projects will be delivered.
