Why Digital Media?

In response to the surge of Web3 IP-based projects over the past year, I've realized the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the rapidly changing world of emerging technologies. With TMU’s Digital Media program, I aim to deepen my knowledge in the extensive realm of new media while also improving my ability to craft engaging narratives and immersive experiences that span both the physical and virtual worlds.
