DEAR COLLEAGUES AND DATABASE OF VIRTUAL ART USERS,
We are happy to announce the new affiliation with improved and long term
support provided by the department for Cultural Studies of the Danube
University Krems, Austria, which will assure preservation and growth of the
Database of Virtual Art.
D V A
As pioneer in the field, the Database of Virtual Art has been documenting
the rapidly evolving field of digital installation art since 1999. It is
supported by the German Research Foundation and various other institutions.
Our research-oriented, complex overview of immersive, interactive, telematic
and genetic art has been developed in cooperation with renowned media
artists, researchers and institutions. The database is based on
open-source-technologies and allows individuals to post material themselves.
Currently it contains hundreds of work descriptions including several
thousand digital documents, videos, technical data, institutions and
bio-bibliographical information. As one of the richest resources online,
with a freshly implemented scientific Thesaurus the database responds to the
demands of the field.

We encourage your remarks and suggestions!
DANUBE UNIVERSITY KREMS (DUK)
The cultural studies department in Krems contains, in addition to the
program in image science, contains also film, contemporary music and
intercultural studies programs - so that the approach is already
multimedial, like the subject of Media Art History. With our international
faculty members we will continue offering new global programs in the field
of media art, collection, curation, preservation and image management.

PERFECT COMBINATION
Beside the Database of Virtual Art - the Goettweig Print Collection
(collection database online soon), which contains 30.000 original prints
from Renaissance to Barock until now, allows in-depth research into its
large resources. We are glad to report that Danube University is able to
provide our field soon with an open archive contextualizing media art in art
and image history.
NEW ADVISORY BOARD
At the same time, we are also excited to inform the field of researchers,
artists, scholars, students who have found the database a value to their
studies, that we have a newly formed advisory board who will help guide the
Database of Virtual Art in the future. Their contributions to the field and
their importance to the ongoing developments of media art as the art of our
times needs no introduction, but further biographical can be found under:
http://www.virtualart.at/common/advisoryBoard.do
We welcome Roy Ascott, Beryl Graham, Erkki Huhtamo, Jorge La Ferla, Gunalan
Nadarajan, Christiane Paul, Martin Roth, and Steve Wilson as advisors to the
Database of Virtual Art.
