ART + TECHNOLOGY + THE LIBERAL ARTS

Welcome to the NCAT, St. Lawrence University’s state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary arts technology facility. Located in the Noble Center, the NCAT exists for two reasons: it meets the technological needs of the arts departments in teaching and learning; and it serves as a hub for collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts — both within the arts and across campus. The NCAT staff works with faculty members to coordinate the necessary facilities, equipment, and training to explore the intersections among digital technologies and the arts.

Welcome back, students, faculty, and staff. The NCAT will reopen for classes on Monday, January 18th, with evening hours beginning at 4:00pm as well.

Evening open hours this semester will be SUNDAY – THURSDAY 4:00pm – MIDNIGHT. We will add additional weekend hours later in the semester. Anyone with a valid SLU ID can enter the NCAT during these times.

If you are taking a class that meets in the NCAT, the doors will unlock automatically at the appropriate times.

Best wishes for a great semester.

St. Lawrence’s annual TechFest faculty/staff technology festival takes place January 12 - 14, 2010, and many of the sessions will be held here in the NCAT.

Quick on the heels of the last one, here’s another ncatnip, a sampling of euphoria-inducing student work from the NCAT. This project explores the relationships among music, movement, and image. This is also our first foray into “green screen” (chromakey) video in the NCAT. The team:  Ashley Alden ‘11, Jordan Hensley ‘10 , Meg Scott ‘10, and Skylar Van Steemburg ‘11. From FA/MUS/PCA270 Collaboration Across the Arts.

Once again, it’s time for ncatnip, a sampling of euphoria-inducing student work from the NCAT. This time, we have a multimedia project by John Cummin ‘12, Dora Ehrhardt ‘10 , Tansy Peplau ‘11, and Nate Torres ‘11. They have unearthed a 1950’s-era instructional video that explains the wonder of the iPhone. From FA/MUS/PCA270 Collaboration Across the Arts.
