Yale Mobile Media Mix
Yale Mobile Media Mix (YMMM) is an on-going series of projects sponsored by the Digital Media Center for the Arts (DMCA) enabling artists to produce and distribute artworks on the internet. As the bandwidth for multimedia continues to expand, new models of distribution are evolving that will change the way we transmit, receive and interact with media. The DMCA wants to support experiments that redefine what is possible, inspire new forms of expression and educational exchange, explore interactivity as well as create new audiences and new markets. Since part of the DMCA's mission is to generate collaboration between artists from many disciplines, projects that combine skills from the fields of art, architecture, art history, drama, film, and music are encouraged.
