The eMedia Studio is a "Distributed Arts Collaboratory" where artistic inquiry meets technology innovation, located in Calit2, the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology at UC Irvine.
Designed and built specifically for digital media and interactive arts, the studio is about 2900 sq. ft. with no dividing interior walls or columns, and it is equipped with ample power, extensive lighting controls including blackout capabilities, a separate workroom and storage room, a unistrut grid in the ceiling, and high speed network connections. It has been used successfully for telepresence performing arts events, as well as for many other digital media projects.
With support from Calit2 and the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, the eMedia Studio is a site for creating real-world environments, augmented by computer and communications technology, to explore embodied interaction in dance, theatre, music and visual arts.
