Queen’s School of Computing Professor Roel Vertegaal (Director, Human Media Lab) and Ph.D. candidate Antonio Gomes, are featured in a Queen’s Journal article entitled “Cutting Edge Creativity“, which describes the School’s unique program in Computing and the Creative Arts (COCA) and its gateway second year course, COCA 201.
The COCA program offers students an exceptional education in Computing and one of four creative arts: Art History, Drama, Film and Media, and Music. It empowers them to use an extraordinary creativity-enhancing tool in order to produce works of art of astonishing originality and enduring beauty. Truly a case of “perfect makes practice”.
Now in its fifth year, COCA is the only program of its kind in Canada and was the first such program in North America.
