Campus Medius: Mediality as Experience

Campus Medius explores and expands the possibilities of digital cartography in cultural and media studies. The project, directed by Simon Ganahl, is developing from a historical case study to a mapping platform. The initial version of campusmedius.net consists of an interactive map with a timeline displaying fifteen events within 24 hours in Vienna on the weekend of May 13 and 14, 1933. The forthcoming version of the website will additionally focus on the main event of this exemplary time-space: an Austrofascist "Turks Deliverance Celebration" (Türkenbefreiungsfeier) in Schönbrunn Palace Park, which is mediated from a bird`s-eye perspective, panoramically, and in street view by five actors each. The aim of Campus Medius is to establish a collaborative platform for describing and visualizing past and current media experiences.
