What's Next? Alumni in Artistic Practice
Curious about the career paths of Media Technology MSc alumni? This March session of “What’s Next?” will feature two alumni of the Media Technology program, Mike Rijnierse and Daniel Simu, both active creating and performing artists. They will share their experiences after completing their studies and share how they have built their practices.
With the What's Next? series we hope to inspire current Media Technology students, show the variety of paths taken after the studies, and bring together alumni and students. Editions of the series are generally organized around a particular theme. This edition is about alumni in artistic practice.
These talks are organised by Media Technology students themselves, and followed by social drinks.
