About

As a pioneer project in the field of Media Art research and preservation, the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (ADA) has been striving to document the rapidly evolving field of "digital born" art since 1999. The ever growing collection and vast overview of works and research material at the intersection of art, science and technology has only been possible in cooperation with international media artists, researchers and institutions as a collective project.
Within the framework of the ongoing "project ADA" the initiator Prof. Oliver Grau has been conducted various conferences, online exhibitions, research projects together with Wendy Coones, and also published various books on virtual/immersive/media art, hosted by the Danube University Krems in conjunction with the international board members of the Archive.

Within the framework of two recent research projects, the current ADA version (2023/24) was developed into a more comprehensive research and teaching infrastructure for Digital Arts and its related fields.
