Celebrating the 3rd start of the internationally unique MediaArtHistories, MA

Celebrating the 3rd start of the internationally unique MediaArtHistories, MA
The postgraduate program MediaArtHistories, MA at the Department for Image Science celebrates its 3rd start in November. The two-year, low-residency Master of Arts course has played a seminal role in the establishment of this new field. It opens a passageway for students into a deeper understanding of and a practical orientation in the most important developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned international theorists, artists, curators and many others.

The November 2010 module will lay the foundation of Media Art Histories and Media Archeology, looking further into issues of creating, curating, collecting, researching and preserving contemporary Media Art; followed by an excursion with an intense and intimate look into ZKM.
