From REMAP

The Center for Research in Engineering, Media and Performance is a joint effort of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television and Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science.

REMAP bridges the world-class faculty and students of HSSEAS and TFT to explore new enriching cultural forms and empowering social situations enabled by the thoughtful interweaving of engineering, the arts and community development. We are building a uniquely positioned creative environment that embraces and promotes people, projects and investigations that can have resonant, long-term impact on the relationships among culture and technology.

REMAP builds on the experience of UCLA's HyperMedia Studio, created by Professor Fabian Wagmister in 1997 to explore the unique creative expression enabled through the collaboration of media, the performing arts and engineering.
