*Christiane PAUL to receive the International MediaArtHistories Award*

Prof. Dr. Christiane PAUL will be honored in Venice with the 
MediaArtHistories Award for contributions to the field.  The New York 
scholar — longtime professor at the New School and curator at the 
Whitney Museum — is honored, in particular, for her highly influential 
publications on the history of media art in its contemporary 
interconnectedness, which have been translated into several languages, 
and her widely visible curatorial work. The ceremony of the 4th Media 
Art Histories Award will take place at the RE:SOURCE 2023 world 
conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology to be 
held in September 2023 in Venice.

*The Jury*, Prof. Dr. Andres BURBANO (Co/Sp), Prof. Dr. Sara DIAMOND 
(Can), Prof. Dr. Oliver GRAU (Ger/Aut), representing the Board of the 
conference series, especially recognized the innovative and 
inspirational contributions of Prof. Dr. PAUL to the field of Media Art 
Histories and her pioneering work, comprising decades of scholarly 
excellence at the highest level, which made it easy for the jury to 
select her from a high-ranking field of international nominations. 
Christiane Paul is a visionary and influential scholar of our time, who 
has shaped the discourse and practice of new media art. Paul´s 
much-cited research on the relationships between art, science, and media 
have greatly influenced the historical understanding of media art and 
initiated the reappraisal of media arts’ connections.

The media art histories award is biannually conferred upon an individual 
scholar working in any language in recognition for their international 
outstanding achievement in the new interdisciplinary field, which 
reflects the current upheavals against the background of media and art 
history using innovative methods to further develop the humanities and 
cultural studies. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medienkunstforschung

Laureates for the Media Art Histories Award are selected through an 
international process. *Previous Award winners*: Barbara STAFFORD; 
Werner NEKES; Anne-Marie DUGUET.
