transmediale.07 Award Competition

transmediale - festival for art and digital culture berlin, invites 
submissions for its Award Competition 2007. The competition highlights 
outstanding contemporary artistic positions in digital media art. The 
international jury will award one main prize of EUR 4.000, and two 
second prizes of EUR 2.000 each.

The transmediale award is a major international award for art 
reflecting on the aesthetical and cultural impact of new technologies. 
Previous award winners have included renowned artists like Shilpa Gupta 
(in), Zhou Hongxiang (cn), Istvan Kantor (ca), Thomas Koener (de), 
Agnes Meyer-Brandis (de), Netochka Nezvanova (us), Adrian Ward (uk), 
schoenerwissen (de), Herwig Weiser (at), 242.pilots (no/pl/us), and 
others.

As a festival for art and digital culture, transmediale presents 
advanced artistic positions reflecting on the socio-cultural impact of 
new technologies. It seeks out artistic practices that not only respond 
to scientific or technical developments, but that try to shape the way 
in which we think about and experience these technologies. transmediale 
understands media technologies as cultural techniques which need to be 
embraced in order to comprehend, critique, and shape our contemporary 
society.

Digital media are increasingly used by artists of all disciplines to 
express their ideas and to explore new aesthetic territories and the 
relation between art and technology. What is important for 
transmediale, though, is that the artistic practices do not only make 
use of technologies, but that they imply a reflection about the 
aesthetic, cultural and social dimensions of such technological 
developments. transmediale and its competition promote an understanding 
of media art as a sounding board and catalyst for a critical and 
creative expansion of the potential of human agency through new 
technologies.

We invite the submission of works and projects that respond to this 
challenge. We are interested in works that expand our understanding of 
digital image and sound aesthetics, of narrative, of interactivity and, 
in particular, the cultural significance of software and computer 
programming as cultural techniques. However, we are also curious to see 
the submission of works outside of these areas, works that expand our 
notions of artistic practice, and works which can makea strong argument 
for the crucial role that new technologies play in our perception and 
projection of a contemporary global culture.

Together with the jury, we explicitly welcome submissions from artists 
who live and work outside of Western Europe and North America.

transmediale is hosted by Berliner Kulturveranstaltungs-GmbH in 
cooperation with Akademie der Künste.
Funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.

club transmediale
club transmediale (CTM) - festival for adventurous music and related 
visual arts - takes place in conjunction with the transmediale. CTM is 
an independent platform for new forms of electronic and experimental 
music and for the various artistic activity drawing influences from and 
refering to sound- and club culture. It presents outstanding 
productions in digital, electronic and experimental music, audio-visual 
performance and installation.

CTM reflects on the role of contemporary music culture as a changing 
agent for present society and - due to the massive dissemination of 
music - as one of the key elements to shape the transformation 
processes that characterise todays mediasphere. With a focus on the 
exploration of performative concepts, informal networks and the 
interaction between different media formats - especially of image and 
sound - CTM emphasises the situative potential of live music and 
performance. Thus it encourages the crossover of institutional, 
academic and subcultural contexts.

club transmediale invites the submission of works and projects in the 
fields of digital, electronic and experimental music, audiovisual 
performance, sound art, installation, video-performance/VJing, music 
video and of design concepts aimed to shape social situations and 
communication processes related to music culture.
