INDA- interactive art and design.

A new joint program between the Iceland Academy of the Arts and Reykjavík University where computer science and artistic creation are intertwined for the benefit of interactive experiences.

ADA is an undergraduate program for people from diverse backgrounds who want to work creatively with technology and interactive media. The program combines programming, creativity, and interactivity in a unique way, where diverse means of expression are trained. In the program, students acquire technical skills and an academic foundation to work in a wide range of fields, from digital media and new forms in contemporary art, to game and filmmaking.

The program emphasizes playfulness, collaboration, experimentation, and independent work, both in thought and practice. The program provides a solid foundation for continued specialization within the creative arts, design, and technology.

"It will be exciting to see students create works that respond to people and the environment, works that listen, respond and change. In this way, interactivity becomes a conversation between people, technology and material." – Katrín Ólína Pétursdóttir, Dean of the Faculty of Design

„Í ADA "Computer technology is an artistic medium that students can use to communicate and raise new questions in a world shaped by rapid technological development." – Þóranna Dögg Björnsdóttir, INDA's Director of Professional Development
