Digital media art plays a major role at international festivals and in contemporary culture. But, in part due to the obsolescence of presentation equipment and storage formats, media art has not yet fully arrived in archives and museums. The collection, exhibition and conservation strategies of digital art, as well as their mediation, are necessary for the modernization of the Creative and Cultural Sector. The joint Master of Arts MediaAC aims to generate a better understanding of the image revolution. It addresses the needs of the evolving fields related to the futures and histories of Media Art Cultures. MediaAC provides education and training for future specialists in Media Arts Cultures and prepare them for emerging careers in the creative and cultural sectors, research and academia. Selected topics like Media Cultural Histories, Digital Heritage, Archiving, Experience Design, Media Arts Theory, New Media Aesthetics, Infrastructures of Digital Cultures, Long Time Preservation, Curating & Arts Management, Data Studies & Visualization, or Media Arts Futures provide students both internationally-advanced theoretical as well as practical knowledge in the Media Arts, through a singular combination of pedagogical foci, trans-disciplinary approaches, and critical thinking in connection to the needs of both academic and non-academic stakeholders. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contact: Media Arts Culture Consortium www.mediaartscultures.eu mediaac(at)donau-uni.ac.at -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
