Vision & Philosophy

CEMA envisions a future where multimedia art extends beyond traditional boundaries, integrating technology and human experience in meaningful ways.

A Living Instrument – The space itself is treated as an instrument—one that artists and researchers learn to play and compose for. Just as a musician develops a deep relationship with their instrument, CEMA encourages its users to explore, refine, and innovate within the space.
Pushing Creative Boundaries – CEMA fosters an ethos of risk-taking and experimentation, encouraging students and scholars to challenge conventional notions
of performance, sound design, and interactivity.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration – CEMA fosters a collaborative environment that brings together artists, technologists, and researchers from diverse fields. The space encourages cross-disciplinary partnerships that integrate various disciplines, such as neuroscience with audiovisual composition, artificial intelligence with sound design, or dance with interactive visuals.
