As leading international festivals for art and digital culture as
well as adventurous music and related visual arts, respectively,
transmediale and CTM (club transmediale) are inviting submissions to
the transmediale Award Competition 2010 and the Vilem Flusser Theory
Award 2010. Invited are art works, projects and positions that
respond to the challenges of our rapidly changing digital,
technological and networked cultures. The transmediale Award seeks
innovative, experimental and visionary works across a wide scope of
form, process and practice that embrace, question and enrich our
understanding and relationship to our immersed media and
technologically driven society. Entries that exemplify new and
critical forms of digital expression and interaction are encouraged,
as are works from countries and regions in which digital art and
culture are emergent. Submissions of art works for both festivals
participate in the transmediale Award 2010 while theoretical
abstracts, papers and research oriented positions are invited for the
Vilem Flusser Theory Award, with prizes totaling 10.000 EURO.

************

transmediale presents and pursues the advancement of artistic
positions reflecting on the socio-cultural, political and creative
impact of new technologies, network practices and digital innovation.
As a festival aiming to define the contours of contemporary digital
culture, it seeks out artistic practices that not only respond to
scientific or technical developments, but that shape the way in which
we think about and experience the technologies which impact virtually
all aspects of our daily lives. As such, transmediale understands
media technologies as cultural and aesthetic techniques that need to
be embraced in order to comprehend, critique, and shape global
societies.

____________________________________________________________

CTM (club transmediale) is dedicated to contemporary electronic,
digital and experimental music and sound creation, as well as the
diverse range of artistic activities and social practises that
develop within and connect to those audio cultures. Thus, the
festival reflects on the agency of contemporary sound creation within
the cultural fabric of society and its technological and social
transformations. It explores the intersections of contemporary music
and audio art with other artistic forms and cultural fields. A
special emphasis is put on the creative use of new technologies, the
interplay of sound with other media formats, the situational
potential of live performances, the formation of social networks, and
the advancement of a positive form of globalization.
