On Friday, December 5, the Integrative Design, Arts, and Technology (IDeATe) network’s Fall 2025 showcase “Event Edit: A Tear” brought together artists, musicians, and storytellers from across IDeATe, and the Schools of Art and Music. The end-of-semester intermedia event, which was held in Studio A of WQED, was organized by students and faculty in “Exploded Ensemble,” “Stop-Motion Animation,” and “Digital Animation” courses.
“Exploded Ensemble,” taught by Associate Professor of Music Theory Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh, explored experimental, multimedia, and approaches to live performance. “Stop-Motion Animation,” which is taught by Associate Professor of Art Johannes DeYoung, emphasized creative content production, experimentation, critical thinking, and collaboration. “Digital Animation,” also taught by DeYoung, challenged students to create expressive animated movement and storytelling.
IDeATe classes are open to undergraduates from any discipline at CMU, offering opportunities to explore interdisciplinary collaboration in 10 different areas which can also be taken as minors: Game Design, Animation & Special Effects, Media Design, Sonic Arts, Design for Learning, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Intelligent Environments, Physical Computing, Soft Technologies, and Immersive Technologies in Arts & Culture. Interested students can reach out to Assistant Dean Kelly Delaney to learn more about enrolling.
