transmediale.01
- international media art festival berlin DIY [ do it yourself ! ]

4 - 11 February 2001

CALL FOR ENTRIES

The transmediale will award three prizes in 2001 - each worth DM 10.000
- in the following categories:

Interactive, Video and Artistic Software.

The transmediale.01 invites the submission of artistic projects
developed in or after 1998.

Interactive installations are invited in the INTERACTIVE section
together with virtual environments, CD-ROMs, DVDs, Internet, performance
projects etc. in which visitors or users are not simply "interpassive"
but are encouraged to respond and act in a creative manner.

The VIDEO section covers linear, time-based presentations searching for
new aesthetic forms of expression. These can be on DVD, various video
formats or film (up to 35 mm).

The as yet barely defined field of ARTISTIC SOFTWARE incorporates
projects in which self-written algorithmic computer software (stand
alone programmes or script-based applications) is not merely a
functional tool, but is itself an artistic creation and a form of
aesthetic expression.

Please notice that the award competition will concentrate on artistic
projects which are concerned with the DIY development and construction
of creative tools and are designed to pass on creative media competence.

Please download the entry form (pdf) from our website
http://www.transmediale.de or request it as an attachment from
info@transmediale.de.

The closing date for entries is 31 October 2000 (postmark). It is
urgently requested that entries should arrive prior to that date,
though.

The transmediale - international media art festival berlin - will be
held from 4 to 11 February 2001 in the Podewil - Center for Contemporary
Arts - in Berlin and at other venues. The transmediale is a platform for
artistic and critical reflection on the role of digital technologies in
present-day society. The festival provides a forum for communication
between artists, those working in the media and a wide range of experts
and offers a stimulating environment for the presentation of major new
digital culture projects.
