> > > INTERACTION > Interactive Systems
> > > The Image category covers artistic productions focusing on human

consist

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.
