MediaArtHistory.org is the virtual home of an international alliance dedicated to promoting collaboration, and advocating the sustainability, understanding, and appreciation of media art heritage. Recognizing the increasing significance of media art for our culture, this platform, conference series and archive for the Histories of Media Art discuss the history of media art within the interdisciplinary and intercultural contexts of the histories of art.
Media Art Histories is an evolving, interdisciplinary field requiring foresight, dialogue, and a striving for rigor.
These projects detail our participation and role in this dialogue:
