The Archive of Digital Art
As a pioneer in the field of Media Arts research, the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (ADA) has documented the rapidly evolving field of digital art since 1999. This research-oriented overview of works at the intersection of art, science, and technology has been developed in cooperation with international media artists, researchers and institutions as a collective project.
AURORA ARchive
The AURORA ARchive is an online research platform for awesome art and culture projects with augmented reality. The platform’s purpose is to archive and bundle both ephemeral and hybrid AR projects, to make them visible, searchable, and comparable. Funded by the EU, the AURORA ARchive was created in 2022 by the interdisciplinary AURORA School for ARtists at HTW – University for Applied Sciences Berlin.
