V. SOFTWARE MARATHON

Thursday May 22, 2014, 10:00h, Digital Art department, Sterngasse 13, 1010 Vienna
A Software Marathon is a series of short, project-oriented presentations on uncommon software. The objective is to become familiar with a broader spectrum of digital tools in order to have more solutions available for different needs. Each presenter has twenty minutes to demonstrate his or her tool in the context of a work. The diverse backgrounds of the students and staff mean there is a wide range of specialist software knowledge to share and exchange; fostering an interdisciplinary approach in production methods.
A cooperation between the department of Digital Art (Prof. Ruth Schnell) and the department of Art & Science (Univ.-Prof. Virgil Widrich)
