What do you think of intermedia? My school offers it as a minor.

Seriously get a STEM degree. Don't waste your money on that shit. Study cultural stuff in your spare time.

Do not listen to this probable troll: >>9187438


If that is a minor then it is not really a waste of time. I am majoring in Math with minors in Comp Sci and Art. I've never heard of Intermedia but that seems interesting.

OP should actually get a degree in whatever he wants to. I do also think that a well-read STEM graduate is the most patrician thing one can be, and I'm actually aiming towards that. But that's just me.

And OP, I don't know about intermedia, but I would recommend reading some book/essay on it and see if it's your thing or not.

Fluxus was really cool. I don't think they produced actual masterpieces, but the whole philosophy behind it was patrician as fuck

Actually, I'm not sure I am in favor of Intermedia.

I am someone who has often had trouble choosing what to study, what to specialize in. I think a program like that would not be beneficial to someone who is already having difficulty tightening their focal area. It may be a waste of time.

In study, sport, and much else I believe there is a point after which becoming too general will hurt you far more than not. Better to have a deeper knowledge of a few things and a general knowledge of many others than to have only a general knowledge of all things.

Of course, I am sure there are people for who it is good for business to look favorably on a degree like this but I am not one of them. Especially with art, it can be good to specialize. I choose a specialty a while ago and have since gotten quite good at it. I am now able to choose whether I want to enter a MFA program with funding. That would not have happened if I did not choose a discipline.

Intermedia is multi-media, a combination of multiple medias. Haiga, an ancient example of intermedia can be seen in pic, combines paint brushing with haiku. But the minor is in experimental intermedia.

>a general knowledge of all things
Intermedia is not about that. It's specifically about the combination and intersection of different media, which is, as you can see, one thing (see >>9187473)

>>9187473
Intermedia and multimedia are different concepts. Multimedia is when you have more than one medium inside one piece of art (and your picture is a good example of this). But the different media remain separate. Intermedia is when media are merging and blending together, in a cross contamination. An example of that is what softwares make possible. Imagine you click with your mouse on words and those words produce different sounds: is that literature or music? It's intermedia.

I'm not sure understanding Intermedia as such drastically changes my opinion about it.

okay
