CALL FOR ENTRIES: VIDA 13.0 Art and artificial life international awards

At a time when the notion of life is once again located in an  
uncertain domain, a wide range of artistic initiatives come together  
to illustrate and investigate this phenomenon; they examine the impact  
on the collective conscience and the way it is manifested in cultural,  
technological and social thought.

Over the last decade, in the same formal space, VIDA has been bringing  
together interdisciplinary projects that respond to this situation. By  
means of formal strategies that defy the boundaries between existing  
practices, these projects offer new ways of reflecting on what we  
understand by life and artificial life.

Fundación Telefónica announces the VIDA 13.0 Art & Artificial Life  
International Competition, which for the last twelve years has awarded  
prizes for artistic projects using technological mediums offering  
innovative approaches to research into artificial life.

As in previous years there are two categories to the competition:

FINISHED PROJECTS
In this category VIDA 13.0 will award prizes to artistic ALife projects
developed after 2008. The sum of 40,000 Euros will be shared between the
projects selected by the jury: First Prize: 18,000 Euros, Second Prize:
14,000 Euros, and Third Prize: 8,000 Euros. In addition seven honourable
mentions will be awarded.


PRODUCTION INCENTIVES
In this category VIDA 13.0 helps to fund artistic ALife projects that  
have
not yet been produced. This is aimed at citizens or residents of  
countries
comprising Latin America, Spain and Portugal. The sum of 40,000 Euros  
will
be shared between the selected projects.

You will find the competition guidelines and the on line entry form in
