Prix Ars Electronica 2004
Prix Ars Electronica 2004 is the 18th editition of the foremost international
competition for computer-based art. To mark Ars Electronica's 25th anniversary
in 2004, it is being expanded to include a "Digital Communities" domain
dedicated to social developments of great current relevance. Deadline for
submissions is March 12, 2004.
Prix Ars Electronica 2004 will be awarded in the following categories:
"Computer Animation / Visual Effects", "Digital Musics",
"Interactive Art",
"Net Vision" and "Digital Communities".
Computer Animation / Visual Effects
The "Computer Animation / Visual Effects" category has been part of the Prix
Ars Electronica since its very inception. It recognizes excellence in
independent work in the arts and sciences as well as in high-end commercial
productions in the film, advertising and entertainment industries. In this
category, artistic originality counts just as much as masterful technical
achievement.
Digital Musics
Contemporary digital sound productions from the broad spectrum of
"electronica"
come in for consideration in the "Digital Musics" category, as do works
combining sound and media, computer compositions ranging from electro-acoustic
to experimental music, or sound installations. This category's programmatic
agenda is to expand horizons beyond the confines of individual genres and
artistic currents.
Interactive Art
The "Interactive Art" category is dedicated to interactive works in all forms
and formats, from installations to performances. Here, particular consideration
is given to the realization of apowerful artistic concept through the
especially appropriate use of technologies, the innovativeness of the
interaction design, and the work's inherent potential to expand the human
radius of action.
Net Vision
The "Net Vision" category singles out for recognition artistic projects in the
Internet that display brilliance in how they have been engineered, designed
and- especially-conceived, works that are outstanding with respect to
innovation, interface design and the originality of their content. The way in
which a work of net-based art deals with the online medium is essential in this
category.
Digital Communities
"Digital Communities" encompasses the wide-ranging social consequences of the
Internet as well as the latest developments in the domain of mobile
communications and wireless networks. "Digital Communities" will spotlight
bold
and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence, bridging the digital
divide regarding gender as well as geography, or creating outstanding social
software and enhancing accessibility of technological-social infrastructure.
This new category will showcase the political potential of digital and
networked systems and is thus designed as a forum for a broad spectrum of
projects, programs, initiatives and phenomenain which social innovation is
taking place, as itwere, in real time.
u19-freestyle computing
Competition for young people under 19 in Austria
Prix Ars Electronica u19-freestyle computing is an open category for all works
that have been designed with or executed by the computer-from websites to
software to robots. "freestyle computing" stands for freedom from the
restrictions associated with the use of different tools and for a competition
that pays just as much attention to innovation and creativity as it does to the
age of the individual submitting it.
[The next idea]
Art and Technology Grant
Discovering ideas for tomorrow in young minds today is the aim of this spin-off
the highly successful u19 competition. Artists age 19-27 are invited to submit
ideas and proposals for works not yet realized. The winner receives a stipend
in the amount of 7,500 Euro and will be invited to spend a term as Artist in
Residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab-a great opportunity to bring project
ideas to fruition and subsequently to present them to a large international
audience at the Ars Electronica Festival.
