“Our efforts to grow our media arts industries are not limited to just films, which have been very successful. They also include programs like this that not only bring the magnificence of New Mexico culture and creativity to every corner of the state, and with the internet, to the world, but just as importantly also place New Mexico students squarely at the forefront of multimedia design and exhibition skills. This program is a unique combination of technical expertise, creative expression and practical application in a medium that is rapidly becoming the currency standard of cultural exchange around the globe.”—Governor Bill Richardson
