Within the competing realms of China's breakneck technological revolution and its attendant shifting of social structures, the role of media art and theory within the education system creates a critical junction between traditional notions of art and the process of industrialisation. Buzzwords such as media art, interaction design, IT literacy and network theory take root within the traditional academic structures creating new and potentially exciting curricula for the exploration of emergent forms of artistic and cultural expression. These initiatives however all too often become subjugated by economic and political forces into creative industry marketing tools. As the pursuits of artistic activity and discourse find their outlets elsewhere, is there a role left for universities and art academies as incubators of critical, experimental and creative exploration? Is this situation unique to China, as a product of its own transformation, or is it a global issue?
