<b>FIRST INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF MEDIA.ART.HISTORIES</b> <br>
(Low residency; English language) <br>
<br>
The postgraduate program <I>MediaArtHistories</I> conveys the most important developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned international theorists, artists, curators and many others. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
<I>MediaArtHistories MA</I> is also based on the international praxis and expertise in Curation, Collecting, Preserving and Archiving and Researching in the Media Arts. What are, for example, 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? <br>

<b>DANUBE UNIVERSITY KREMS</b> -- located in the UNESCO world heritage Wachau is the first public university in Europe which specializes in advanced continuing education offering <b>low-residency</b> degree programs for working professionals and lifelong learners. Students come for 4 2 week blocks to Monastery Göttweig in Austria. <br>
<br>
With its new modular courses starting in November 2007 the <b>DEPARTMENT FOR IMAGE SCIENCE</b> at Danube University Krems 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. <br>
<br>
The Center in Monastery Göttweig, where most <I>MediaArtHistories</I> 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.
