	Developing cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research and education programs in partnership with other institutions in the fields of arts and machine learning


AMC’s focus areas include: (a) digital art practice (including visual, sound, performing, installation, cinematic arts); (b) machine creativity; (c) art management covering managerial, legal, and business topics related to AI arts, NFT, etc.; and (d) critical studies examining art history, media theory, and philosophy of technology in the context of arts and machine creativity.  The Division will offer graduate degree programs, including MA and MFA programs, as well as MPhil/PhD programs. It will also provide common core courses for all undergraduates at HKUST, and potentially undergraduate programs in future. The Division will collaborate with the Computational Media and Arts Thrust of HKUST(GZ) to advance scientific research in artificial intelligence in generative creativity and machine creativity.

The University

Founded in 1991, HKUST is a world-renowned international research university dedicated to the advancement of learning, research, scholarship, and the education of a new generation of elite students through top-tier programs in science, engineering, business & management, humanities & social science, and interdisciplinary studies.
