The digital media revolution means renewal for exhibition and museum spaces. The trend towards media convergence and diversity in the post-digital age has reinforced the need for alternative cross-media spaces that appeal to new audiences. The postgraduate program provides fundamental knowledge on exhibition development in conjunction with media theory and practice, especially with the most current strategies of multisensory, participatory multimedia mediation. International experts such as Christiane PAUL, Dieter BOGNER, Wendy COONES, Florian WIENCEK, Enrique GUITART, Patricia MUNRO, Stefan IGLHAUT, Frank den OUDSTEN and Lev MANOVICH combine historical vision with the latest knowledge of current developments and trends. The Certified Program is part of the overall modular program of the MA in Image Science, MediaArtHistories and Collection Studies & Management or the MSc in Crossmedia.
