UCLA REMAP

The Center for Research in Engineering, Media and Performance (REMAP) is a joint effort of UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) and Samueli School of Engineering.

REMAP bridges the world-class faculty, staff and students of TFT and Samueli to explore new enriching cultural forms and empowering social situations enabled by the thoughtful interweaving of engineering, the arts and community development. The Center provides a uniquely positioned creative environment that embraces and promotes people, projects and investigations that can have resonant, long-term impact on the relationships among culture and technology.
