> transmediale is a festival for art and the creative usage of digital
media.

> broad public interested in the arts.

>
> transmediale award
>
> Prizes worth EUR 5,000 will be awarded in each of the three categories
> Interaction, Image and Software. The transmediale.03 invites the
submission
> of artistic projects developed since 2000 in these three fields. The award
> winners will be selected by three separate international juries. The award
> winning works and others will be invited to transmediale.03 and will be
> presented, circumstances permitting, in the exhibition, screenings, the
> media lounge or on stage.
>
>
> INTERACTION > Interactive Systems
> The Image category covers artistic productions focusing on human
> interaction with and through digital media. Interactive systems consist of
> several components which combine to create an artwork that can be
> experienced individually or collectively and whose outcome is relatively
> open and dependent on the recipient's participation. These can be locally
> based systems like installations or performances, as well as open,
> networked processes or action. The evaluation of these works hinges on
> their reflection of current social and cultural conditions and on the
> choice of adequate media and components which articulate the intention of
> the project.
>
> IMAGE > linear and non-linear moving images
> The category Image includes works that deal with the aesthetics of moving
> images and that reflect the role of the image in the age of digital,
> interactive and network media. Such works can deal with the transformation
> of visual languages and the emerging, non-linear forms of narration, as
> well as with innovative forms of presentation and reception and with the
> combination of images with sounds and other forms of artistic expression.
> Going beyond the by now classical video format, the Image category also
> covers projects in areas like video performance, Internet movie or
> interactive story telling.
>
> SOFTWARE > Generative Art
> The Software category includes projects whose main artistic material is
> program code, or which deal with the cultural understanding of Software.
> Thus, software is not understood as a functional tool serving the 'real'
> artistic work, but as a generative means for the creation of machinic and
> social processes. Software art can be the result of an autonomous and
> formal creative practice, but it can also refer the cultural and social
> meaning of software, or reflect on existing software through strategies
> like collage or critique.

> transmediale.03
> Theme: play global!
>
> transmediale.03 deals with the artistic and cultural effects of
> globalisation. The competition for the transmediale award is an
independent
> part of the festival, so that submissions for the competitions can, but do
> not have to relate to the festival theme 'play global!'.
>
> Globalisation is a process through which the possibility of world-wide
> relations extends across the entire field of social relations. In the
> course of this process, we do not only see the expansion of economic,
> political and military constellations. The world is turning into a
> multi-layered social space for which new cultural concepts have to be
> developed in order for individuals and groups to be able to act. Mobile
> communication, telematic tools, world-wide collaborative structures and
> global political alliances create a new cultural landscape whose rules
will
> have to be learned and worked on.
>
> 'Play global!' is meant as a challenge to artists and creative
> practitioners to propose concepts and ideas for this new, global field of
> action and interaction. Is there a new artistic language of the global?
> What is the relationship between an individual's local existence and his
or
> her social environment, which is less and less locally determined and
which
> can today include collaborators, partners and friends working at the other
> end of the world?
>
> Obviously, the challenge to participate in the 'global game' is not
without
> irony. The so-called 'global players', companies and conglomerates, use
> their extensive networks and huge masses of capital to transgress national
> borders, viewing the entire world as their playground. The festival will
> present critical and self-conscious as well as playful responses to this
> scenario.
>
> We therefore invite the submission of concepts, project proposals and
> materials relating to the festival theme, independent from the
competition.
