waterzooi...

[anna balint]

I still beleive waterzooi is an excellent project.
what i don't understand is how the ae competion and
the ae Art and Technology Grant are related to each other.
maybe it would be enough to enter the project to the competition
and realize it later.

Art and Technology Grant
open for entries
http://prixars.aec.at/
Deadline: March 12, 2004 (postmarked)

Discovering ideas for tomorrow in young minds today is the aim of this grant
supported by voestalpine and focusing on the intersection of art and
technology. The category¹s target group includes students at universities,
art schools, technical schools, and other educational institutions as well
as creatives from all over the world, aged 19-27, who have developed
as-yet-unproduced concepts in the fields of media art, media design or media
technology. The winner receives a stipend in the amount of 7,500 Euro and
will be invited to spend a term as Researcher and Artist in Residence at the
Ars Electronica Futurelab. Judging will be done by a panel of experts.
The Ars Electronica Futurelab makes its resources and its staff¹s expertise
available to support the realization of the project during the term of
residency. The awarded concept or the completed work will be presented in
the Prix Ars Electronica¹s ³CyberArts 2004² catalog and as part of the Ars
Electronica Exhibition at the 2004 Ars Electronica Festival. Strongly
committed to an interdisciplinary approach, and as part of an international
network of collaborating institutional associates, the Ars Electronica
Futurelab carries out its R&D projects together with artists and scientists
from all over the world.
The awarding of this grant is made possible by voestalpine.


What should be entered?

Each concept is to be entered in the form of a concept description. This
description should explain the essentials of the idea and how it could be
realized in terms of technical details (hardware and software), production
tasks, and spatial requirements.
Please note that the jury¹s decision will be based primarily on the concept
description and the production plan, so please be sure that the information
provided in your entry is as specific as possible.
The production plan should contain a clear description of the production
tasks involved in the project, and an indication of whether the particular
task is to be performed by the entrant personally or by someone else (e.g.
Ars Electronica Futurelab personnel).
We ask you to use the online registration to register and to send the signed
print-out of the online registration form along with your entry material by

ENTRY

This competition is open to all kinds of innovative concepts and ideas in
the fields of
- Media Art
- Media Design
- Media Technology
It is a prerequisite that the concept/idea not have been already realized.

Criteria for judging the entries include the relevance of the concept to the
creative community in the fields of art, technology and society, as well as
the technical and/or artistic innovativeness or the originality and
significance of the design. Exclusively commercially oriented activities in
the sense of product advertisement are excluded. The concept entered should
be realizable within the given timeframe.
The concept may not have been shown or realized in any form prior to being
entered.


Who may enter?

Participants may be individuals or groups. The grant¹s target group includes
students at universities, art schools, technical schools, and other
educational institutions as well as creatives from all over the world, aged
19-27, who have developed as-yet-unproduced concepts in the fields of media
art, media design or media technology.
On March 12, 2004, no entrant (including any individual member of a group of
entrants) may be under age 19 or over age 27.


Concept Realization and Presentation

The realization and/or documentation of the concept will be carried out
during the grant recipient¹s term as Researcher and Artist in Residence at
the Ars Electronica Futurelab (scheduled for June-September 2004). The
concept or the project realized during the term of residency will be
presented at the 2004 Ars Electronica Festival. If the realization of the
selected concept will take longer than the three months provided for this
purpose and if the availability of the author throughout this extended
timeframe is not assured, then the author must guarantee that the
concept/idea will be able to be presented in conjunction with the 2004 Ars
Electronica Festival. Preparations for the presentation can be made only in
consultation with and subject to the approval of the organizer. The
organizer reserves the right to determine the format in which this
presentation will take place within the framework of the Ars Electronica
Festival program.
There exists the possibility of rescheduling the term of residency, although
this decision is strictly up to the organizers. The stipend in the amount of
7,500 Euro will be awarded on a one-time basis to the entrant(s) submitting
the concept selected by the jury, and includes all travel and lodging costs
during the term of residency and/or during the 2004 Ars Electronica
Festival, regardless of whether the concept was submitted by an individual
entrant or a group of entrants. If the stipend is awarded to such a group,
then participation in the residency program is limited to three persons from
among the group.
The costs of realizing the winning concept are not covered by this
7,500-Euro stipend; rather, such costs will be covered by additional funds
to be provided by voestalpine and the Ars Electronica Center, who reserve
the right to determine the actual realization budget. The framework
conditions governing such realization (such as, but not limited to,
budgeting, resource planning, scheduling and concept presentation) will be
established in a separate agreement with the grant recipient.
The winner of the grant will be notified by April 30, 2004. It is in your
own best interest to make certain that either you or the proxy nominated in
your entry can be reached at the addresses, etc. specified in your entry
throughout the period of time when winners will be notified.
The Prix Ars Electronica 2004 awards presentation will take place on
September 3, 2004 during the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz. This event
will be televised in Austria by ORF and throughout Europe on the 3sat
satellite channel.
The recipient of the grant will agree to receive the certificate attesting
to it in person, and to present the work to the public during the 2004 Ars
Electronica Festival. Groups are requested to nominate one person or a
maximum of two people as representatives.
