tied in intriguing ways to digital art. Key approaches and methods from
Image Science, Media Archaeology and the History of Science & Technology
will be discussed. Media Art History offers a basis for understanding
evolutionary history of audiovisual media, from the Laterna Magica to
the Panorama, Phantasmagoria, Film, and the Virtual Art of recent
decades. Using online databases and other modern aids, knowledge of
