The 10th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology
13 / 16 Sept 23 - Venice, Italy
The 10th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology – RE:SOURCE – will celebrate Media Art Histories and the role that its main agents have had in the multiple developments of art, science and technology with a focus on the past 60 years.
The title ‘RE:SOURCE’ refers to a sub theme specifically introduced in the MAH Venice edition of the conference series. This theme will be centred on the climate crisis and questions of ecological sustainability considered in all their ramifications analysed through the lenses of Media Art (History).

Track 2: “Climate Actions, Environment and Public Humanities” (public media art that addresses climate emergency and social topics).
Track 3: “Pioneers of Media art” (media art history pioneers past and present, artists, curators, new technologies).
Track 4: “Media art history outside and inside the museum” (curation, museology, cinema, games, media arts museums); re-enacting of exhibitions, new technologies and curatorial practice.
