to answer the critical challenges of the 21st century, which require
mobilization and cross-fertilization among the domains of art, science and
technology by supporting the studies of a new researcher or artist.

developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned international
theorists, artists and curators like: Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev MANOVICH Christiane

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. Using online
databases and other modern aids, knowledge of computer animation, net art,
