Krems





Todays's lecture with Slavko Kacunko was at the Krem's campus so we took the train from Furth Palt to Krems, and walked through the town to get to campus.

Print collection at Gottweig





The monastery has Austria's largest private collection of historical graphical art. The collection has over 20,000 pieces and dates back to the first reported acquisition in 1621. A digitization project is underway and many pieces are now available for view in an online database - and can also be ordered as beautiful reproduction prints! Get your orders in for Christmas!

University of the Danube, Austria


I'm here in Austria for my third module in the Media Arts Histories program which runs between two locations: the main University campus in Krems and the Gottweig Monastery in Furth. Yesterday and today we have lectures with Erkki Huhtamo from UCLA on a variety of topics related to media archeology. Lectures at the monastery involve a 30 minute hike!
