:: THREE SCHOLARSHIPS IN THE FIELD OF MEDIA.ART.HISTORIES

The Center for Image Science at the Danube University Krems is pleased to
announce three scholarships
covering half-tuition for the new Master of Arts course MediaArtHistories.
Applications for the following
scholarships are being accepted until October 23rd, 2006.

:: UNESCO World Heritage Preservation Scholarship

:: Rudolf-Arnheim-Media-Art-History Scholarship

:: Interface Design and Future Applications Scholarship

Potential applicants should have, in addition to commitment in enrolment
for the 2 year Master of Arts course,
enthusiasm for the scholarship's theme and an interest in the further
development of research in the theme
for which they apply. Selected applicants will be required to complete
research on their scholarship theme,
possibly, but not limited to: focus of master's thesis on theme,
realization of internship or project related to
theme, or a similar research method agreed upon between the student and
course leader.

:: UNESCO World Heritage Preservation Scholarship
The UNESCO World Heritage Preservation Scholarship supports further
research in preservation of media art
and its histories through the example set by UNESCO’s World Heritage
initiative. Successful applicants should
be committed to issues in documenting and preserving all forms of
international media art, from a theoretical
or practical approach.

:: Rudolf-Arnheim-Media-Art-History Scholarship
Rudolf Arnheim himself expressed the motto of this scholarship in 2000
better than anyone else: "The technology
of the modern media has produced new possibilities of interaction... What
is needed is a wider view encompassing
the coming rewards in the context of the treasures left us by the past
experiences, possessions, and insights."
The successful applicant proposes a Master Theses or a Project related to
Arnheim’s plea.

:: Interface Design and Future Applications Scholarship
This scholarship supports applicants interested in research within the
field of Interface Design. Approaches are
considered focusing on conceptual and aesthetic aspects possibly connected
with the phenomena
of interaction as it relates to media art and its histories.

Awarding of a scholarship is dependent on acceptance and enrolment in the
MA course.



::  PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Danube University's Department for Applied Cultural Studies, Center for
Image Science is now accepting applications
for the 2006/07 class of their MA Program in MediaArtHistories starting
mid-November. This two year low-residency
degree provides students with deeper understanding of the most important
developments of contemporary art through
a network of renowned international theorists, artists and curators like
Steve DIETZ, Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev MANOVICH,
Christiane PAUL, Paul SERMON, Oliver GRAU, Edward Shanken, Gregor LECHNER,
Jens HAUSER 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 bio & nano art,
CAVE installations, augmented reality and locative media are introduced.

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 Virtual Art of recent decades.
