And we do so through a fractal lens of inter- and trans-disciplinarity, bridging art history, media studies, neuroscience, psychology, sociology, and beyond. MediaArtHistories is a field whose theory, methods, and objects of study interweave with and overlay other disciplines.ProgrammeDay 1, 23.11.2017&#160;08:30&#160;Registration09:00&#160;Official Opening Welcome by Landeshauptfrau Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Rektor Friedrich Faulhammer and Conference Chairs Oliver Grau (Danube U) and Inge Hinterwaldner (HU Berlin)09:20&#160;Keynote Ryszard KLUSZCZYŃSKI (University of Łodz, PL): Monument as Archive: artistic strategies from anti- to meta-memorial(Introduction by Inge Hinterwaldner)10:20&#160;Coffee BreakStream Media Art &#38; PoliticsAudimax, Danube University&#160;Stream SoundCinema Kesselhaus, Danube University Campus Stream Early New MediaRoom 2.2, Main Building, Danube University10:45&#160;Session: Cybernetics, computing and the question of representation in artChair: Giselle BEIGUELMANAndres BURBANO (CO): The MONIAC and the ArtsKevin HAMILTON (US): Beyond Visualization: Genealogies of Unmapped Complexity in Media Art and TechnologyGerald NESTLER (AT): tbaSession: Early experimental strategies in the image-sound-complexChair: Wendy COONESJungmin LEE (US): Scroll as Virtual Media: Kinetic Abstraction and Projection circa 1920Stefanie BR&#196;UER (CH): Electronic Oscillography in Early 1950s Experimental FilmAshley SCARLETT/Martin ZEILINGER(CA): Art, Technology and AffordanceSoojung YI (KR): When 'new media art' became the solution to endow cultural identity to its community?
