Job Description:
The School of Art & Design at Alfred University's New York State
College of Ceramics invites applications for a full-time,
tenure-track Assistant Professor of Video Art to begin August
2025.
Candidates should be motivated to join a collaborative faculty team
focused on student success. The successful candidate will have
extensive experience in the practice and instruction of Video Art
focused on synchronized multi-screen projection and video
installations. The candidate's work should demonstrate solid visual
and performative abilities. The candidate will have a deep
knowledge of the history and theories of Video Art with culturally
diverse perspectives. The unique video art studios are
purpose-built, allowing students to work experimentally across
various time-based, performative, and intuitive art-making
strategies. We seek a candidate dedicated to using the video art
studio in their teaching and studio practice. The candidate will be
willing to work collaboratively across the School of Art and Design
disciplines and other disciplines within the Division of Expanded
Media. Faculty will teach in Video Art and as part of faculty
rotation in the first year of the Foundations Program.
The School of Art & Design has a distinguished history as a premier
institution for education in the arts and fosters a comprehensive,
multi-disciplinary environment for research and practice. The
Alfred Video Art program is focused on exploring and furthering the
imaging and sound potentials of the new media art. That is making
art with new media in the exciting context of transnational media,
media convergence, and emerging technologies. The program's unique
studios comprise many varied technologies that allow students to
work experimentally across analog, digital, and hybrid systems. Our
studios allow students to work within various durational,
compositional, performative, and intuitive art-making strategies.
Students engage with historical, contemporary, and emerging
theories, including durational, poetic, philosophical, and critical
ones. The Video Art program has been grounded in a Video Art making
approach with solid ties to real-time image processing and digital
compositing. The video image, exported in various formats, becomes
as fluid as any other image, ready to become a fine art print, a
frame in an animation, a button on a web page, or a structure for
sound. The research and work produced in the video arts program
crosses many forms of time-based electronic art, including
real-time image processing, performative video systems,
multi-screen installation, animation, motion graphics, and
immersive video and Sonic Art.
