Department of
Humanities

Digital and physical worlds

The Department of Humanities offers its Master’s degree programs as pure distance learning programs.

Our degree programs are designed to develop interdisciplinary skills in new forms of education, the arts and media landscape and cultural industries. This includes, for example, higher education institutions, museums and galleries, film festivals and various institutions involved in audiovisual digital art and cultural production.

The department is also actively involved in cutting-edge research. We explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) in the cultural industries for environmental conversations, disaster research and management, and in the area of climate change impacts.
Our research spans human-technology interaction (HTI), which includes robotics, smart cities and smart home technology.

At Media University, academic excellence merges with practical application to improve our society and its relationship with the environment through artificial intelligence technology and visual anthropological research methods.

In the field of contemporary anthropology, the film presents a fascinating observation at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human experience. Addressing the increasingly blurred boundaries between the material and immaterial worlds, the film explores the complex ways in which individual identities are constructed and expressed in the physical and digital.
