<===== ARNHEIM-SCHOLARSHIP FOR REGINALD NJEMANZE
============>
The Department for Image Sciences awarded for the first time
the Rudolf Arnheim scholarship for the participation in the
university course MediaArtHistories, MA, to the Nigerian
artist Reginald Njemanze.
The academic sculptor, who was born in 1971 in Nigeria,
expects from the participation on the postgraduate study
MediaArtHistories a more theoretical base and new options of
expressions for his artistic production. He sees the basis
of his artistic work, which is presented more and more as
multimedia-based in the history of media art, as a logical
development of his production.
The Department for Image Science sees the scholarship -
beside the support of an ambitious artist - as a possibility
to encourage an examination of the contents with the
theories of Rudolf Arnheim and the significance role he can
play in the history of media art.

<===== MediaArtHistories, MA
===========================>
On the 13th of November the first international master’s
course in Media Art Histories started at the Department for
Image Science with students from Hungary, USA, Switzerland,
Nigeria and Austria.
The program is in English and part of the new international
orientation of the Department for Image Science. The course

academic degree Master of Arts. It gives a review on the
latest developments of media art and brings international
experts such as Steve DIETZ, Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev MANOVICH,
Christiane PAUL, Paul SERMON, Oliver GRAU, Edward SHANKEN,
Gregor LECHNER, & Jens HAUSER to Krems.
On-site modules alternate with online learning, supported by
online databases and other contemporary teaching methods.
The courses aim is the professional teaching of media
culture of recent time, to integrate it in our institutions
and to develop strategies against its imminent loss. The
modular structure of the program offers the possibility for
prospective students to ENROLL IN THE COURSE AT MORE THAN
ONE POINT IN THE CURRICULUM.
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.
