The Archive of Digital Art (founded by Oliver Grau in 1999) has over the past three years been expanding with a focus on teaching, research and analysis of Media Art. Among others, innovative data visualizations, search and analytical tools have been developed in two current research projects at three universities. Additionally, VR and mixed-reality experiences now allow virtual exploration of the AR[t]chive of the Sommerer/Mignonneau collective, the performance Swarming Lounge by Kondition Pluriel, and presentations of selected works by Ruth Schnell.
