About ADM SHOW 2026
Altered Variables

Between constants and change, new directions unfold.

Building on the notion of reconfiguring and reimagining existing systems, the ADM Show 2026 theme “Altered Variables” reflects the class of 2026’s thinking on how individual perspectives and practices intersect, influence one another and in turn reshape the larger system in distinct ways. The exhibition brings together diverse practices shaped by shared conditions, marking a collective moment of experimentation, transition and the emergence of voices at the threshold of professional practice. 

Each work in the exhibition evolves through iteration, adjustment and gradual shifts in direction. Nothing arrives fully formed; instead, practices take hold over time, shaped by ongoing negotiation with context and condition. What emerges are not fixed outcomes but ways of working that remain responsive, generative and open-ended, each carrying their own trajectories while contributing to a broader, evolving field of practice.

DESIGN ART
The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design Art combines three pathways in Interaction, Product Design and Visual Communication into an integrated programme in Design. 

Design guides us through our lives, informs us, and challenges our perceptions of the world. It’s an interdisciplinary set of fields encompassing a wide variety of approaches to visual materials and culture. At a fundamental level it is about form and composition, which are then applied to communication, problem-solving and creating compelling products and experiences for viewers and users. 

In Design Art, students are taught to be critical, creative and skilled designers and artists, developing innovative and exciting new visions across fields and disciplines. 
MEDIA ART
The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Media Art combines four pathways in Animation, Game, Filmmaking and Photography into an integrated programme in Media. 

Media Art is about telling stories using time and space, sound and images. The art of using media to create is fundamentally important to us as individuals, communities and cultures. It is how we communicate experience, remember the past, document the present, and imagine the future. 

In Media Art, students are taught to be critical, creative and skilled content creators, developing innovative and exciting new visions within and across media.
