What the HIVE?
- We are the NEW MEDIA studio. That means multimedia, transmedia, and interactive media. Start thinking about ways to mix and match different kinds of art and technology and think about how audiences interact with them.
- Don’t be afraid of COMPUTERS. You will learn new software, you will learn to code, but we will get you there slowly and you will, we promise, like it!
- Be ready to COLLABORATE. We often do group projects here, and the HIVE is a tightly-knit place. Be excited to create incredible things you couldn’t otherwise do by yourself.
- Be ORGANIZED. Be ready to learn Trello (task management site) and SourceTree (code management). Save your files in the right place. Make backups. Set tasks and follow deadlines. These are skills that will help you get any kind of art done!
