| Samenvatting: | The Media Arts Scoping Study project was implemented to explore a national network of media art practices within Australian universities. The aim of the media/electronic art scoping study (MASS) was to develop a three pronged approach in creating the national network for media/electronic art academics : To produce a networked website providing the basis for the design and construction of relevant infrastructures facilitating the collection and dissemination of data. A database was designed to obtain meaningful input and create a detailed understanding of the underpinning rationales enabling media/electronic art to evolve within the universities. And to complement the database a word press site was constructed to run in parallel demonstrating major events influencing the evolution of media/electronic arts within the Australian university structure. The study's aim to provide baseline data as to how media/electronic art curriculum has developed within the university sector has been realized. The networked study assists in the contextualization of emerging technologically mediated arts practice curriculum into the future, while developing further definitions of the sector for universities to manage the development of this area of study. The need for a networked database of media art is paramount in the development and documentation of a new modality within the arts. Media/electronic art is of particular Scoping Study for a National New Media/Electronic Arts Network interest in that its evolution has been so short and intense that it has had little time for reflection and review of itself as a sector.
