Research project “Contingent Agencies” publishes website
The Contingent Agencies website is connected to Portfolio & Showroom via the API. In this way, the research data can be saved in the university’s CRIS. The presentation on the website is optimised to the needs of the researchers. Many thanks to Nikolaus Gansterer and Alex Arteaga!
Showroom is online
Showroom is the first Austrian digital art and science platform designed and developed by an art university for art universities. Showroom is a place of discovery, serendipity, and thematic in-depth study. Artists, scientists, students and alumni show their work, exhibitions, designs, performances, publications etc. for an interested audience. Comprehensive search functions are available, events are highlighted on a daily basis, articles are curated and edited.

New Introductory Videos Released
Check out our YouTube channel for new how-to videos that walk you through the basics of Portfolio and (coming soon) Showroom. You will learn how to store different media files (audio, image, PDF, video, etc.) in Portfolio, archive certain files (i.e. select them for export to your university’s repository), and how the role-based entry of your activities works.
You will find the videos also in Showroom.
