The MediaArtHistories masters program conveys the most important

MANOVICH, Christiane PAUL, Kathy Rae HUFFMAN, Frieder NAKE, Jens HAUSER,
Andreas LANGE, Christa SOMMERER, knowbotic research, Jeffrey SHAW,
Oliver GRAU, and many others. Historical derivations that go far back
into art and media history are tied in intriguing ways to digital art.
Key approaches and methods from Image Science, Media Archaeology and the
History of Science & Technology will be discussed. Media Art History
offers a basis for understanding evolutionary history of audiovisual
media, from the Laterna Magica to the Panorama, Phantasmagoria, Film,
and the Digital Art of recent decades. Using the latest online archives,
knowledge of computer animation, interactive, telematic and genetic art
as well as the most recent reflections on net art, CAVE installations,
augmented reality and locative media are introduced. Artists and
programmers give new insights into the latest software and interface
developments. The MediaArtHistories learning environment at the Center
for Image Science integrates world-wide leading scholars from the field
into a faculty working intensely with the students in seminars and
workshops.
