New Media Lab

THE NEW MEDIA LAB (NML) assists City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center faculty and doctoral students from a variety of academic disciplines to create multimedia projects based on their own scholarly research. Our goal is to integrate new media into traditional academic practice, challenging scholars to develop fresh questions in their respective fields using the tools of new technology. The NML is committed to a vision of new technology based on open access to ideas, tools, and resources.

With ongoing support from CUNY, the New Media Lab has become a dynamic environment in which projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Old York Library Foundation, and other private and public sources demonstrate new approaches and methods of merging digital media, scholarship, and learning.

Located in room 7388.01 at the CUNY Graduate Center and run under the auspices of the Center for Media and Learning / American Social History Project, NML researchers:

work across academic disciplines to produce scholarly digital media projects;

analyze Internet usage in the educational, social, and commercial sectors;

construct 3-D environments that explore ways of visualizing the arts, humanities, and sciences

digitally archive and analyze a wide range of data
participate in public programs that address the critical intersection of knowledge and technology

    Join us this Wednesday afternoon at 12:30 for our March meeting. We’ll be hearing from two students who've been with the lab since 2012 and before.

    Sonia Gonzalez, from the Public Health program will talk a bit about an educational app she has been working on for helping young people get informed about important sexual and reproductive health services. Sonia’s been working on everything from design to platform considerations. She’ll be updating us on where she’s been and where she’s taking the project.

    Samwell Freeman is probably best known for his art and robotics projects made from obsolete technology. He’s given some memorable presentations in the past. This week he’s going to talk a bit about a new project he’s working on and the direction that he might be going down in semesters to come.

    Other than that, there will be a lot of both returning and new faces of both faculty and students talking about their digital work. Stop by and catch up or get acquainted with the GC’s digital cutting edge.
