The Department for Image Science and Leonardo/ISAST are pleased to
announce their new cooperative effort, a half-tuition scholarship for
the Master of Arts (MA) course in MediaArtHistories, with a start in May
2010!

=> LEONARDO SCHOLARSHIP FOR MEDIA ART HISTORIES
The scholarship is planned 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.


=> FIRST INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF MEDIA.ART.HISTORIES
(low-residency; English language, international faculty)
The postgraduate program MediaArtHistories conveys the most important
developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned
international theorists, artists and curators like: Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev
MANOVICH, Christiane PAUL, Paul SERMON, Edward SHANKEN, Jens HAUSER,
Sean CUBITT, Christa SOMMERER, Gerfried STOCKER, Knowbotic Research,
Frieder NAKE, Oliver GRAU and many others.

Artists and programmers give new insights into the latest 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,
netart, interactive, telematic and genetic art as well as the most
recent reflections on nano art, 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.


=> DANUBE UNIVERSITY KREMS - located in the UNESCO world heritage
Wachau, 70km from Vienna, is the only public university in Europe
specializing in advanced continuing education by offering low-residency
degree programs for working professionals and lifelong learners. Our
students & faculty members come from the USA, Italy, Canada, Syria,
Austria, Mexico, & Hong Kong, among others. Without interrupting their
career, students have the opportunity to learn through direct
experience, social learning in small groups and contacts with labs and
industry. They gain key qualifications for the contemporary art and
media marketplace.

The Center in Monastery Goettweig, where most MediaArtHistories courses
take place, is housed in a 14th century building, remodeled to fit the
needs of modern research in singular surroundings.

=> LEONARDO/ISAST - Leonardo creates opportunities for the powerful
exchange of ideas between practitioners in art, science and technology.
Through publications, initiatives and public forums, Leonardo/ISAST
facilitates cross-disciplinary research in these fields, seeking to
catalyze fruitful solutions for the challenges of the 21st century.
Among the challenges requiring cross-disciplinary approaches are
establishing sustainable environmental practices, spreading global
scientific and artistic literacy, creating technological equity, and
encouraging freedom of thought and imagination. By enhancing
communication between scientists, artists, and engineers, Leonardo
supports experimental projects and interacts with established
institutions of art and science to transform their research and
educational practices.

=>LEAF - The Leonardo Education and Art Forum promotes the advancement
of artistic research and academic scholarship at the intersections of
art, science, and technology.  Serving practitioners, scholars, and
students who are members of the Leonardo community, LEAF provides a
forum for collaboration and exchange with other scholarly communities,
including the College Art Association of America (CAA), of which it is
an affiliate society.
