The Arts, Visualization, Advanced Technologies and Research, or AVATAR, Initiative in Digital Media welcomes Jesse Allison to our faculty working within this multidisciplinary hiring initiative at LSU.
Allison has accepted a position as assistant professor in LSU's School of Music, where he will be a faculty member in the Experimental Music & Digital Media area. He also holds a joint appointment with the LSU Center for Computation & Technology, where AVATAR is housed. Prior to joining LSU, he worked as a sonic and hybrid media artist, serving as the Virtual Worlds Coordinator for Interactive Arts Research and Development for Digital Intermedia Art and Animation (IDIA) at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Allison is also President of Hardware Engineering of Electrotap, LLC, an innovative media arts firm.
As an artist, Allison has disseminated works and research around the globe through live performance art, interactive installations, virtual and hybrid worlds installations, and paper presentations. At Electrotap, he has developed sensor technology, interactive software, and commercial audio plugins through all stages of production. Through his research at IDIA, he taught sonic and hybrid arts and led teams of faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and external organizations in large-scale projects. Allison received his doctor of musical arts in composition from the University of Missouri -- Kansas City.
LSU is excited to welcome Jesse Allison and his family to Baton Rouge as he becomes the newest member of AVATAR.

Undergraduate Minors in Digital Media
LSU’s Arts, Visualization, Advanced Technologies, and Research (AVATAR) Initiative in Digital Media is debuting a new, interdisciplinary academic program to help students learn the skills they need for careers in the broad, exciting, and emerging field of digital media.
Beginning in the Fall 2010 semester, undergraduate students can enroll in one of two digital media minor programs, each with a focus on different thematic cores. The DMART minor is an arts-oriented program, offered through the College of Art & Design, and the DMTEC minor is a technology-oriented program, offered through the College of Engineering.
Students in both programs will take foundation courses in the arts and computer programming. Students then will take three courses in digital media within their area of focus (arts or technology) and one course from the other area of focus. Finally, students from both programs meet in a senior capstone course that engages both arts and technology applications in collaborative, interdisciplinary projects.
The minor will prepare students for careers in fields such as animation, video games, electronic music and digital art. Some examples of digital media jobs students could pursue after college include:
Interested students can learn more about the AVATAR Initiative in digital media and get more information about the DMART and DMTEC undergraduate minor programs, including course information, at www.avatar.lsu.edu
