["Image Science" <image.science@donau-uni.ac.at>]

.
FIRST INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF MEDIA.ART.HISTORIES 
(Low residency; English language, open for applications now)

The postgraduate program MediaArtHistories conveys the most important
developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned
international theorists, artists, curators and many others. 
 
Artists and programmers give new insights into the latest and most
controversial software, interface developments and their
interdisciplinary and intercultural praxis. Keywords are: Strategies of
Interaction & Interface Design, Social Software, Immersion & Emotion and
Artistic Invention. Using online databases and other modern aids,
knowledge of computer animation, net art, interactive, telematic and
genetic art as well as the most recent reflections on nano art, CAVE
installations, augmented reality and wearables are introduced.
Historical derivations that go far back into art and media history are
tied in intriguing ways to digital art. Important approaches and methods
from Image Science, Media Archaeology and the History of Science &
Technology will be discussed. 
 
MediaArtHistories MA is based on the international praxis and expertise
in Curation, Collecting, Preserving and Archiving and Researching in the
Media Arts. What are the conditions necessary for a wider consideration
of media art works and of new media in these collections of the
international contemporary art scene? And in which way can new Databases
and other scientific tools of structuring and visualizing data provide
new contexts and enhance our understanding of semantics?
