Milieux is an interdisciplinary graduate research institute for new media arts, digital culture and information technology at Concordia University in downtown Montreal.
Drawing on a legacy of media arts research-creation, Milieux aims to mess with the boundaries of creative experimentation, graduate research and training, and progressive critical thought and practice. We work with partners and collaborators from cultural and technology sectors and across the world to examine, co-create and share ideas, prototypes, experiences and practices that challenge assumptions shaping contemporary digital culture.
