We enrich the academic and personal lives of JHU students by providing an interdisciplinary environment where art and technology merge.

By promoting the use of emerging technologies in students’ scholarly and creative works, the Brown Foundation Digital Media Center prepares life-long learners to confidently master new technologies and to disseminate works that effectively communicate their ideas. The DMC is open to all full-time students enrolled in the Johns Hopkins University Schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering.

The DMC is comprised of several full- and part-time professional staff, as well as trained student staff. In addition to the director there are digital audio, digital imaging, and digital video specialists, and a technical support specialist. Many levels of instruction are available for the students, from basic book/CD-based tutorials to staff-run demonstrations and workshops. Guest artists are invited to display their work, offer seminars and master classes.

The DMC includes a lab area and digital music suite. The lab features high-end dual boot Apple computers, scanners and tablets. Lab software enables digital video editing, creation of transitions/effects, vector graphics, web site creation, animation, photo and image manipulation, 3-D modeling.
