JOHANNESBURG – Digital modernism has dawned. The third millennium has become obsessed with new media and newness, which requires creative minds.
It has become an accepted reality that media is the strategy of making it new: in this sense digital modernism can be viewed as aligned with strategies of avant-gardism, and the remaking of the avant-garde will continue by way of new media and technologies.
At Open Window Institute (OWI), they are ushering in a new era. In 2014 they celebrated 21 years of existence, giving them the opportunity to look back and reflect. More importantly, they are looking towards the future and embracing digital modernism and new media and technologies. Now is the time to join them for the exciting journey that lies ahead.
OWI is accredited with the Council on Higher Education and provides cutting-edge, progressive education in the fields of visual communication, design, film and interaction arts.
Their offering includes BA degrees in Visual Communication Design and Film Arts, BA Honours degrees in Visual Communication, one year programmes and short courses.
Open Window would like to invite creatives who have completed matric to submit their original artworks to stand a chance of winning a one year programme bursary valued at R36 990. There are four one year programmes on offer, namely Film Production, 3D Animation and Game Design, Photography and Graphic Design. Our one year programmes are skillsbased and introduce the essential aspects of the chosen course in an applied approach. This bursary is valid for their July 2015 intake.
