The Centre of Excellence for Arts and Digital Immersion (ADI) at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IIT Jodhpur) is a pioneering initiative housed within the School of Liberal Arts. Established on September 19, 2022, ADI is envisioned as a transdisciplinary hub exploring the dynamic intersections between art and digital technologies.
MissionADI’s mission is to foster innovation, creativity, and excellence in both traditional and contemporary artistic practices.
ADI focuses on diverse art forms, including Visual Arts (painting, sculpture), Performing Arts (theater, music, dance), and other creative expressions. Leveraging advanced digital tools like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Extended Reality (ER), the center creates immersive environments that redefine artistic experiences. It also delves into cutting-edge areas such as AI-driven art, digital gaming, comics, animation, and the sociological analysis of emerging art forms.
VisionADI aspires to inspire creative pursuits, deepen aesthetic appreciation, and cultivate a vibrant artistic culture within IIT Jodhpur. Through collaborations with established and emerging artists, it bridges hereditary art forms and digital innovation, encouraging students and faculty to engage in practice-based research and interdisciplinary exploration.
