MA21工作团队在此荣幸地宣布：“媒体艺术21——2000年以来全球媒体艺术实践与反思，及其教学探索”项目的第一阶段于今日正式对公众开放。
媒体艺术21（Media Art 21）是一个由数据库驱动的中英双语线上资源，由中央美术学院科技艺术研究院发起并与美国加州大学伯克利分校艺术+设计专项计划合作完成。
MA21项目主要由和的慈善基金会·和艺术基金资助，新媒体艺术基金会为项目提供了额外支持。
MA21于2021年春季在全球新冠疫情的爆发中催生并投入制作，疫情下物理空间的割裂导致了线上与远程学习的激增，MA21亦因此尝试从新的教学模式予以回应。从更深的层面来看，MA21项目希望延续具有广泛影响的媒体艺术线上资源库：“媒体艺术网络”（Media Art Net）之传统，并进一步拓展媒体艺术的论述，追溯千禧年以来的全球媒体艺术实践。项目的使命申明中如以下这段摘要所示，概括了其宗旨：
“媒体艺术是全球当代艺术实践中不可或缺的组成部分。其以媒介的过去、现在和未来诠释世界之当下。伴随着媒体艺术实践及其在国际艺术展览中占比的日益增长，对其展开批判与学术性反思，同时将这一实践领域纳入到艺术教育的需求也在不断增加。艺术家、学者、策展人和学生能够获得原始资料并进行批判性思考，这对于研究和发展媒体艺术这样一个已经对当代艺术产生显著影响、塑造和促进作用的领域而言至关重要。‘媒体艺术21——21世纪的媒体艺术’旨在以全球视野对2000年以来的媒体艺术进行概述来满足这一需求。”
此次发布的项目第一阶段汇集了数百个艺术家和艺术作品条目，用以诠释“后人类”（Posthuman）、“生态”（Ecology）、“共同体”（The Commons）这三个勾勒出MA21项目知识导向的核心主题。项目网页设计具有很强的交互性，采用多媒体技术来交叉索引艺术作品、艺术家以及相关的兴趣点。此外，一组由重要学者、策展人委约撰写的论文为将艺术作品置于更宽广的社会经济生态和艺术史系统中进行阐释和评估奠定了基础。它们一同编织了一张由诸多线索构成的网络，以此来强调不同主题交融与艺术实验之间复杂的相互关联。
“媒体艺术21——2000年以来全球媒体艺术实践与反思，及其教学探索”现可由线上予以访问：http://www.ma21.org，点击文末“阅读原文”亦可直接访问。
我们欢迎来自艺术家、学者和学生的反馈，以便进一步完善本项目的后续阶段，为公众带来一个真正全面的知识库，以期促进媒体艺术在21世纪的发展。

The MA21 work team is pleased to announce the public release of the first phase of the project Media Art 21: Practices, Reflections and Pedagogies of Global Media Art Since 2000.
Media Art 21 is a Chinese-English bilingual database-driven online resource initiated and produced by the Institute of Sci-Tech Art, Central Academy of Fine Art in collaboration with the Art + Design Initiative at University of California, Berkeley.
Major funding is provided by the HE ART FUND with additional support by the New Media Art Foundation.
The inception of the project was catalyzed and went into production in the spring of 2021 during the global outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic as a pedagogical response to increased online and remote learning due to pandemic-imposed physical separations. From a conceptual point of view, it is an attempt to continue the legacy of the highly influential media art online depository Media Art Net and to extend the theoretical discourse as well as trace the praxis of global media art since the new millennium. The project’s mission statement outlines the objectives in a nutshell as follows:
“Media art is an essential part of global contemporary art practice. It addresses the world of the present through the media of the past, present, and future. With the increasing artistic production of media art and its growing presence in international art exhibitions comes a growing need for critical and scholarly reflection, as well as for the inclusion of this field of practice in art education. For artists, scholars, curators, and students, access to original materials in conjunction with critical reflection is of prime importance for the study and development of an artistic field that has remarkably influenced, shaped, and stimulated contemporary art. MA21 – Media Art in the 21st century – seeks to address this need through an overview of media art since 2000 from a global perspective.”
With this release, the project has produced several hundred entries on artists and artworks to address the three essential thematic areas that inform the intellectual direction of the MA21 project, namely: Posthuman, Ecologies, and The Commons. The online project is designed with highly interactive features, employing multimedia technologies to cross reference artworks, artists, and related points of interest. In addition, a body of commissioned essays by leading scholars and curators have laid the foundational work on contextualizing and evaluating the artworks within larger social-economical ecologies as well as art-historical systems. Together, they weave a web of many threads to underscore the complex interdependence and reciprocity between thematic ramifications and artistic experiments.
Media Art 21: Practices, Reflections and Pedagogies of Global Media Art Since 2000 can be accessed online @ http://www.ma21.org, click "Read More" at the end of this document for access within WeChat.
We welcome feedback from artists, scholars, and students alike to further augment the project in its subsequent phases and to bring to the public a truly comprehensive knowledgebase for the development of media art in the twenty-first century.
