The Int. MediaArtHistories Conf had the first edition in 2005 and has travelled 
since then around the world: Banff 2005, Berlin 2007, Melbourne 2009, Liverpool 
2011, Riga 2013, Montreal 2015, Krems/Vienna 2017, Aalborg 2019, São Paulo/CIHA 
2022, and Venice 2023. Recognizing the growing importance of art and 
technology, the goal is to involve the academic community from various 
disciplines to discuss the history of Media Art within the contexts 
interdisciplinary and intercultural.

America that has brought together art, design, science, and technology since 
1997. Over its history, the Festival has hosted over 100,000 attendees, 5,000 
scholars and artists, and organized over 3,000 events, including exhibitions, 
conferences, live performances, and workshops. Since 2020, the Festival has 
been organized by Universidad de Caldas in Manizales in partnership with 
Universidad de Bogotá.
