As
leading international festivals for art and digital culture as well as
adventurous music and related visual arts, respectively, transmediale
and CTM (club transmediale) are inviting submissions to the
transmediale Award Competition 2010 and the Vilem Flusser Theory Award
2010. Invited are art works, projects and positions that respond to the
challenges of our rapidly changing digital, technological and networked
cultures. The transmediale Award seeks innovative, experimental and
visionary works across a wide scope of form, process and practice that
embrace, question and enrich our understanding and relationship to our
immersed media and technologically driven society. Entries that
exemplify new and critical forms of digital expression and interaction
are encouraged, as are works from countries and regions in which
digital art and culture are emergent. Submissions of art works for both
festivals participate in the transmediale Award 2010 while theoretical
abstracts, papers and research oriented positions are invited for the
Vilem Flusser Theory Award, with prizes totaling 10.000 EURO.
transmediale
presents and pursues the advancement of artistic positions reflecting
on the socio-cultural, political and creative impact of new
technologies, network practices and digital innovation. As a festival
aiming to define the contours of contemporary digital culture, it seeks
out artistic practices that not only respond to scientific or technical
developments, but that shape the way in which we think about and
experience the technologies which impact virtually all aspects of our
daily lives. As such, transmediale understands media technologies as
cultural and aesthetic techniques that need to be embraced in order to
comprehend, critique, and shape global societies.
CTM (club
transmediale) is dedicated to contemporary electronic, digital and
experimental music and sound creation, as well as the diverse range of
artistic activities and social practises that develop within and
connect to those audio cultures. Thus, the festival reflects on the
agency of contemporary sound creation within the cultural fabric of
society and its technological and social transformations. It explores
the intersections of contemporary music and audio art with other
artistic forms and cultural fields. A special emphasis is put on the
creative use of new technologies, the interplay of sound with other
media formats, the situational potential of live performances, the
formation of social networks, and the advancement of a positive form of
globalization.
