::CALL FOR ENTRIES::
::transmediale.04 and club transmediale.04
transmediale is a festival for art and the creative usage of digital
media. The festival shows new and significant projects of digital
culture and offers reflections about the role of digital technologies
in contemporary society. It is a forum of communication for artists,
media workers and a broad public interested in the arts.
_transmediale award
Prizes worth EUR 2,500 will be awarded in each of the three
categories Interaction, Image and Software. The transmediale.04
invites the submission of artistic projects developed since 2001 in
these three fields. The award winners will be selected by three
separate international juries (see website). The award winning works
and others will be invited to transmediale.04 and will be presented,
circumstances permitting, in the exhibition, screenings, the media
lounge or on stage.
_SOFTWARE > Generative Art
The Software category includes projects whose main artistic material
is program code, or which deal with the cultural understanding of
Software. Thus, software is not understood as a functional tool
serving the 'real' artistic work, but as a generative means for the
creation of machinic and social processes. Software art can be the
result of an autonomous and formal creative practice, but it can also
refer the cultural and social meaning of software, or reflect on
existing software through strategies like collage or critique.
