The institute is affiliated with the Hochschule für Kommunikation und Gestaltung HfK+G*. The private and accredited university of applied sciences has campuses in Ulm and Stuttgart.
The patron of the institute would like to give students an understanding of the new dimensions of artistic digital creation with all its forms, facets, and opportunities. For that purpose he makes the premises, technical equipment, and funds available to the students.
The goal of the institute is to support and promote experimenting with new techniques and exchanging ideas with international students and artists.
The institute would like to bring interested parties and artists together – not only in museums, but also in digital spaces.
Digital art will be given a platform, which will further advance and establish it as a recognized branch of art. Herein, the focus will lie on researching new ideas and techniques.
This is the main idea that the „Institute of digital art“ would like to pursue and promote.
