Doing a Software Marathon we try to get familiar with digital tools in order to have a brighter spectrum of available solutions for different needs. The Software Marathon is an innovative format based on short presentations which are project oriented. In this way learning about tools is connected with specific interests, generating an atmosphere of exchange and fostering our interdisciplinary approach in the ways of production. This event is an introduction to tools where we can exchange methods of how to approach digital and analogue issues. Taking advantage of our diverse backgrounds, we select quite exotic softwares, assigning to students, professors, staff members of the Art & Science class and guests from related departments of the University of Applied Arts Vienna the task to present their tools in context of a work in twenty minutes.
