Metropolitan Museum of Art, MediaLab, Call for Internship Applications<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The MediaLab at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is now accepting applications for the Spring<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2015 internship season.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The MediaLab at the Met is a small team dedicated to explorations at the intersection of art,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
technology, and the museum experience. Each semester, we work with a group of talented,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
self-motivated creative technology, computer science, and museum studies students, helping<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
them to realize their vision, in deep conversation with the museums collection, expertise,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
visitors, and physical space. Because these internships are UNPAID, the interns take the lead in<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
their projects, with frequent opportunities for interaction with, and facilitation from, museum staff<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and our professional partners in the creative technology industry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Internships conclude with a public expo, and an article written for the Met\u2019s Digital Underground<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
blog.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Projects may address specific museum needs, or they may be purely personal, artistic<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
responses to our collection through the intern\u2019s own creative lens. The best projects, however,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
take full advantage of the resources and expertise the Met has to offer, and adapt according to<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
input from museum partners. Applicants should be outgoing communicators, organized<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
problem-solvers, and adventurously creative!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
