Julia Kots, Theater Studies '01, became intrigued with contemporary life in the Ukraine during a visit made possible by the Richter and Tristan Perlroth Fellowships. There she photographically explored the route taken by Soviet Jewish religious refugees during the early 1990’s.

"During my stay in the Ukraine I was profoundly moved by the lyricism of the people and the adversity of the politico-economic situation. I realized at that point that what interested me most was not the Jews who left, but the Jews who stayed."

Julia's transmissions are part of a larger documentary that she is currently working on with the assistance of the DMCA.

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.
