[ENGLISH VERSION]
::[1]
::CALL FOR ENTRIES::
transmediale is a festival for art and the creative usage of digital media. The festival shows new and significant projects of digital culture and offers reflections about the role of digital technologies in contemporary society. It is a forum of communication for artists, media workers and
a broad public interested in the arts.
_transmediale award
Prizes worth EUR 2,500 will be awarded in each of the three categories Interaction, Image and Software. The transmediale.04 invites the submission of artistic projects developed since 2001 in these three fields. The award winners will be selected by three separate international juries (see website). The award winning works and others will be invited to transmediale.04 and will be presented, circumstances permitting, in the exhibition, screenings, the media lounge or on stage.
_Werkleitz Award
The 'Werkleitz Award 2004' is an award for outstanding media art productions which critically reflect social processes. It is donated by the Werkleitz Gesellschaft in cooperation with transmediale. The 'Werkleitz Award 2004' consists of a EUR 2.000 cash prize and additional non-cash benefits of up to EUR 3.000. The non-cash benefits consist of the temporary use of the production facilities at the Werkleitz Gesellschaft, logistical support, free webspace and free participation in an appropriate workshop. All productions submitted to transmediale.04 in the field of interaction, image and software will be taken into consideration. A jury of the festival will nominate the winner.
www.werkleitz.de/zkb/award.html
_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.
_INTERACTION > Interactive Systems
The Interaction 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 actions. 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.
_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.

::FLY UTOPIA!::
The theme of transmediale.04 is Fly Utopia! In contrast, the transmediale award competition is an independent element of the festival, so that submissions to the competition can relate to the festival theme, but they don't have to. Likewise, it is possible to send in concepts, project proposals and materials about the theme, independent of the competition.
Dreams and illusions have been abandoned by our present society only on the surface. Rather, after the collapse of the 20th cenutry‚s grand ideologies there is once again an increasing search for concepts that point beyond the restrictions of the factual and that offer visions of the old and the new potentials of creative action. In this context, digital media, and technology in general, maintain their ambivalent image as objects of utopian hope and as signs of an impending apocalypse.
The modern crises of reality are counter-poised by utopian ideas, imaginary places which offer alternatives to what seems to be unavoidable. These utopias are at times located in the fantastic worlds of mythical pasts, in the parallel worlds of the present, or in science fiction futures. These sites house both positive and negative utopias: while some promise a paradise of harmony and perfection, others contain the threat of perfected societies of control and surveillance. Utopias are the vehicles with which these hypothetical sites can be visited and explored.
Fly Utopia! attempts the journey into the destinations of an imagination which tries to leave the boundaries of reality behind. What could be the goals of an artistic practice which tries to overcome the desillusionment of the present? Is it possible to conceive of utopias that are not locations, but in themselves practices, lines of flight, or conceptual zones, only waiting to be occupied?
transmediale.04 is an invitation for an excursion into the utopias of a time steeped in media and technologies.
