DIGITAL COMMUNITIES
The "Digital Communities" category will honor important achievements by
digital communities well as innovative artistic approaches towards
web-based communities. This category focuses attention on the
wide-ranging social and artistic impact of the Internet as well as on
the latest developments in the fields of social software, ubiquitous
computing, mobile communications andwireless networks. Special
attention goes to community-related "net.art". "Digital Communities"
spotlights bold and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence,
bridging the geographical as well as gender-based digital divide and
cultural conflicts, sustaining cultural diversity and the freedom of
artistic expression or creating outstanding social software and
enhancing accessibility of technological-social infrastructure. This
category showcases the political and artistic potential of digital and
networked systems and is thus designed as a forum for the consideration
of a broad spectrum of projects, p
rograms, artworks,
initiatives and phenomena in which social and artistic innovation is
taking place, as it were, in real time. A Golden Nica, two Awards of
Distinction and up to 12 Honorary Mentions will be awarded in the
Digital Communities category in 2007.
MEDIA.ART.RESEARCH Award
Ars Electronica and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research
(media.lbg.ac.at) are pleased to announce the establishment of a
prize for outstanding theoretical work on the subject of media art to
be awarded in conjunction with the Prix Ars Electronica. The Prix Ars
Electronica Media.Art.Research Award includes a EUR 5,000 cash stipend.
The 2007 theme is "Net-based Artforms." Of particular interest this
year are theoretical analyses of the medial configuration and history
of artistic interventions in electronic networks, elaborations on the
social aspects of artistic encounters in and with the Internet, as well
as discussions of research being done by scholars of art history on
these media art genres.
Please feel free to forward this to all interesting/ed parties.
best regards
