Auf jeden Fall hat es mir hier in MD sehr gut gefallen und viel Spass gemacht!

Einblick in die Pionierphase der Computerkunst. Bin letzte Woche dort gewesen, lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!

"Die Sammlung Clarissa ist eine der frühesten Sammlungen von Computergrafik in Deutschland, vielleicht sogar weltweit. Die Galeristin Käthe Schröder, die in der Plathnerstraße in Hannover eine Galerie für Fotografie betrieb, hatte schon in den 1960er Jahren Exemplare der damals kaum bekannten Computerkunst gesammelt und, als sie die Galerie 1968 schließen musste, der Stadt Hannover als Geschenk übergeben. Viele Jahre fristeten die Blätter der Computergrafik in einer Kiste verpackt ein kärgliches Dasein, bis sie wieder entdeckt, aufgearbeitet nun endlich präsentiert werden können."

Hello Colleagues,

Thanks for hosting us in your Ringvorlesung on "Die konstitutive Kraft
der Medien."
I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to present, and to get an impression
of the kind of work that you are engaged in.

I wanted to let you know about a conference that I am hosting in
Vancouver this spring (April 8-10, 2010). It is titled: Media
Transatlantic: Media Theory in North America and German-Speaking Europe
http://www.mediatrans.ca/

Also, I have very recently circulated a call for papers on a subject
closely related to the presentation that I gave with Theo Hug. I have
pasted in this call below. I would be very grateful if you could
circulate it within relevant German-speaking communities, and perhaps
even consider working on a submission!

CFP - Media:
Digital, Ecological and Epistemological

Special
issue of E-Learning and Digital Media, Editor Dr. Norm Friesen /
Please Forward as appropriate!

Media
today are everywhere. From educational gaming through portable e-texts
to cell phones ringing in class, it seems we can’t escape. Nor can we
live without media; instead, they form a kind of ecology that we
inhabit. In addition, media have an epistemological function; they
shape both what we know and how we come to know it: “Whatever we know
about our society, or indeed about the world in which we live,” as
Niklas Luhman observed, “we know through… media.”

Speaking of media in education suggests a range of
possibilities that are different from what is suggested by educational technology (electronic, digital or
otherwise). Describing computers and the Internet specifically as
digital media casts their role not as mental
tools to be integrated into instruction, but as “forms” and “cultures”
requiring “literacies” or acculturation. In this way, speaking of media
in education brings instructional environments more closely together
with the world outside. Explorations of these terms and possibilities
have been initiated by the likes of Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman and
Elizabeth Eisenstein, and they are also touched upon in research on
media literacies. However, more recent theoretical developments and
accelerated mediatic change --from blogging through networked gaming to
texting and sexting-- offer innumerable opportunities for further
exploration.

This
special issue of E-Learning
and Digital Media invites
contributions that focus on media, particularly digital media, and
their ecological and epistemological ramifications. Specific topics may
include:

• School and classroom as media
  (ecologies) and the changing world outside
• Digital challenges to media literacy
  and literacies
• Media socialization and media education
• Histories of media and education
• The epistemological character of (new)
  media

Submissions
for this special issue are due May 1, 2010

Length of
submissions: generally 6000-8000 words
