Recognizing imaging as a process that is rooted in art and design,
incorporates science and technology, and vividly describes ideas, UMBC's
Imaging Research Center (IRC) is a recognized center for interdisciplinary
collaboration among artists, researchers, industry partners, and students in
creating technologically advanced media works that communicate to and
resonate with the general public
The IRC is dedicated to investigating new technologies and their use for
interpreting and presenting content. Since its inception in 1987, artists
and researchers across disciplines have collaborated in the IRC's creative
environment to develop new strategies and techniques in digital media.
State-of-the-art facilities enable research in 3D visualization, immersive
technologies, interactivity, installation, animation, high definition video,
and sound.
In conjunction with UMBC's Department of Visual Arts, the IRC has developed
successful academic programs that engage undergraduate and graduate students
in professional research activities. These students receive valuable
experience with contemporary digital art technologies while working as
partners with researchers, artists, scholars, and industry specialists to
create large-scale, high profile works.
