Abstract
A crisis has emerged in new-media arts education. Despite the widespread emergence of new-media arts programs and strong student interest throughout North American universities as well as in Finland, Singapore, Thailand, China, Germany, and Australia, surprisingly little public debate about the goals, structure, and topical orientation of these programs is taking place. The issues include the demands of undergraduate students for vocational training, the isolation of new-media art in the university lab, the lack of advanced debate about new-media artwork, the introduction of Open Source Software in the classroom, the meaningful use of theory, and the media-specific structure of most departments. Beyond questions of technical instruction, an additional concern is the challenge of keeping up with the significant technological advances in a number of fields.
