Our work on deep time relations between arts, sciences, and technologies does not seek to re-invent the concepts of the media or the arts. The aim is to open up both media and the arts via their interactions with scientific and technological processes. It is our hope that media experts will see their research areas in a broader light than before, and that disciplines which have so far not participated in these discourses (such as theology, classical studies, many areas of the history of science and technology) will develop an openness for media questions. Right from the beginning Variantology/Archaeology of the Media was conceived as an international research and exchange project. A central part of it is the development of an open and temporal network of outstanding scientists, artists and scholars who engage with the deep time relations of arts, sciences and technologies. Currently we cooperate with the Academy of Sciences of China in Beijing, with scholars from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, the Academy of Arts and the Academy of Sciences in Budapest, Hungary, younger scholars from the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, Pompen Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain, St. Petersburg State University, Russia, many other Universities, Colleges, Institutes and individual researchers.
