transmediale.01 - international media art festival berlin DIY [ do it yourself ! ] 4 - 11 February 2001 CALL FOR ENTRIES The transmediale will award three prizes in 2001 - each worth DM 10.000 - in the following categories: Interactive, Video and Artistic Software. The transmediale.01 invites the submission of artistic projects developed in or after 1998. Interactive installations are invited in the INTERACTIVE section together with virtual environments, CD-ROMs, DVDs, Internet, performance projects etc. in which visitors or users are not simply "interpassive" but are encouraged to respond and act in a creative manner. The VIDEO section covers linear, time-based presentations searching for new aesthetic forms of expression. These can be on DVD, various video formats or film (up to 35 mm). The as yet barely defined field of ARTISTIC SOFTWARE incorporates projects in which self-written algorithmic computer software (stand alone programmes or script-based applications) is not merely a functional tool, but is itself an artistic creation and a form of aesthetic expression. Please notice that the award competition will concentrate on artistic projects which are concerned with the DIY development and construction of creative tools and are designed to pass on creative media competence.

It is urgently requested that entries should arrive prior to that date, though. The transmediale - international media art festival berlin - will be held from 4 to 11 February 2001 in the Podewil - Center for Contemporary Arts - in Berlin and at other venues. The transmediale is a platform for artistic and critical reflection on the role of digital technologies in present-day society.
