The ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (ADA), the most advanced online archive for 
digital art, expands its scope of documentation by including scholars to
the  database. 

SCHOLARS are invited to become members of the online community and set
up their ADA profile!

SHARE YOUR RESEARCH WITH PEERS AND THE COMMUNITY
Community can upload publications and PDFs, announce upcoming events,
post comments, document exhibitions, conferences and other relevant
news. 

COLLABORATIVE ANALYSIS AND PROACTIVE KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
With the support of two large international grants, the archive has
been  transferred into a Web 2.0 environment. The aim is to provide
community  features and user-oriented applications to enable a
collective scientific exchange between artists, researchers, engineers
and the public to foster  interdisciplinary and global collaborative
analysis and a proactive process  of knowledge transfer.

Community features allow active exchange of professional information
with  peers. The new Light box tool facilitates the examination and
comparison of various image phenomena for teaching and research
purposes.

To ensure a high academic standard, five published articles and/or
curated exhibitions are required for scholars to become members of  the
ADA community. Interested scholars may apply for an account here:
