*CALL FOR APPLICATIONS*



*FIRST INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF MEDIA.ART.HISTORIES *

(Low residency; English language, open for applications now)



  The postgraduate program MediaArtHistories at the Department for Image
Science offers a two-year low residency course of study leading to an
M.A. degree. It 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?

*DANUBE UNIVERSITY** *â?? located in the UNESCO world heritage Wachau is
the first public university in Europe which specializes in advanced
continuing education offering *low-residency* degree programs for
working professionals and lifelong learners. Students come twice a year
for 2 week blocks to Monastery Go"ttweig in Austria.



With its new modular courses the *DEPARTMENT FOR IMAGE SCIENCE* at
Danube University offers an educational program internationally unique.
Without interrupting the career students have the opportunity to learn
through direct, hands-on experience, social learning in small groups and
contacts with labs and industry. They gain key qualifications for the
contemporary art and media marketplace.

The *Center in Monastery Go"ttweig*, where most MediaArtHistories courses
take place, is housed in a 14th century building, remodeled to fit the
needs of modern research in singular surroundings. International experts
analyze the image worlds of art, science, politics and economy and
elucidate how they originated, became established and how they have
stood the test of time. The innovative approach at the Department for
Image Science is reinforced by praxis-oriented study.





*APPLICATIONS for the next course start will be accepted until May 5,
2008**
