Artists_and_projects

On IDM, Crust and Dirt broadcast live via web cam to communities around the world. Using a laptop, a regional host takes to the streets in search of a wireless connection. Once an online connection is established, pedestrians encounter Crust and Dirt full screen. Those curious enough to engage are asked to share their dream or wish. Crust and Dirt then instantly manifest it right before their eyes as a drawing.

IDM integrates art into daily life, and is designed to break through the boundary that divides the seer from the seen.

COMPUTERANIMATION / VISUAL EFFECTS
The "Computer Animation / Visual Effects" category has been part of the Prix Ars Electronica since its very inception. It recognizes excellence in independent work in the arts and sciences as well as in high-end commercial productions in the film, advertising and entertainment industries. In this category, artistic originality counts just as much as masterful technical achievement.

DIGITAL MUSICS
Contemporary digital sound productions from the broad spectrum of "electronica" come in for consideration in the "Digital Musics" category, as do works combining sound and media, computer compositions ranging from electro-acoustic to experimental music, or sound installations. This category's programmatic agenda is to expand horizons beyond the confines of individual genres and artistic currents.

INTERACTIVE ART
The "Interactive Art" category is dedicated to interactive works in all forms and formats, from installations to performances. Here, particular consideration is given to the realization of a powerful artistic concept through the especially appropriate use of technologies, the innovativeness of the interaction design, and the work's inherent potential to expand the human radius of action.

NET VISION
The "Net Vision" category singles out for recognition artistic projects in the Internet that display brilliance in how they have been engineered, designed and-especially-conceived, works that are outstanding with respect to innovation, interface design and the originality of their content. The way in which a work of net-based art deals with the online medium is essential in this category.

DIGITAL COMMUNITIES
This category focuses attention on the wide-ranging social impact of the Internet as well as on the latest developments in the fields of social software, mobile communications and wireless networks. "Digital Communities" spotlights bold and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence, bridging the geographical as well as gender-based digital divide, or creating outstanding social software and enhancing accessibility of technological-social infrastructure. This category showcases the political potential of digital and networked systems and is thus designed as a forum for the consideration of a broad spectrum of projects, programs, initiatives and phenomena in which social 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 2006.

Art and Technology Grant
The aim of this grant focusing on the mutually enriching interplay of art and technology is to nurture concepts for the future that young thinkers are coming up with today. This category’s target group includes interested persons throughout the world between the ages of 19 and 27, who have developed a not-yet-realized concept in the fields of media art, media design or media technology. The winner will receive a 7,500-euro grant and an invitation to spend a semester as scientific assistant and artist-in-residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab.

I thought it might be fun to post a sentence a day from every book and periodical i have until
I've reached the end if I ever get there. Embarrassing as it is, I will post them as they are arranged upon my shelves
(i.e., in no
discernible order.) I don't know if I can really do this, but wish me luck.

One felt that this iron-grey sky; this starving soil, empurpled only here and there by the bleeding flower of the
buckwheat;
that these roads, bordered with stones placed one on top of the other, without cement or plaster; that these paths,
bordered
with impenetreble hedges; these crippled beggars, eaten with vermin, plastered with filth; that even the flocks,
undersized and wasted,
the dumpy little cows, the black sheep whose blue eyes had the cold, pale gleam that is in the eyes of the Slav or of
the tribade;
had perpetuated their primordial state, preserving an identical landscape through all the centuries.
