An interdisciplinary field at the intersection of digital technology and humanities disciplines, MediaArtHistories examines the knowledge frontiers of new media, digital, and electronic art. It addresses the scientific discovery and technological innovation that emerge as part of these art practices and productions, as well as the genealogies of their historical development and context. At a time when digital technologies are fundamentally revolutionizing the very ways in which we communicate, interact, and perceive images, the MediaArtHistories program trains students from diverse backgrounds to critically analyze the visual media cultures of today.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

MediaArtHistories offers a basis for understanding the evolutionary history of media, from historic examples such as the Laterna Magica and Mechanical Automaton of the 17th century, to computer art at the earliest stages of the Internet in the mid-Twentieth Century and the algorithmic art of today. Explored in depth are key methods and theory from Digital Humanities, Image Science, Media Archaeology, Sound Studies, the Intellectual History of Science & Technology, and Digital Gender Theory. Excursions, and on site faculty seminars, introduce students to the main cultural heritage institutions in the field, such as Ars Electronica and ZKM, archives such as the Archive of Digital Art (ADA www.digitalartarchive.at), festivals such as Transmediale, and the Media Art market. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
