Faço parte do International Advisory Committee of the Digital Communities do Prix Ars Electronica, um dos eventos mais importantes do mundo nesse domínio. Devo indicar projetos para o juri. Peço que aqueles que tem informações sobre projetos brasileiros interessantes que me façam saber via email ou comentando aqui mesmo no Carnet. Vou analisar e se for o caso, indico.
Para saber mais sobre essa categoria veja o link aqui.
“The “Digital Communities” category focuses on the wide-ranging social and artistic impact of the Internet as well as on the latest developments in social software, user generated content, mobile communications, mash-ups and location based services. Digital Communities” focuses on innovation in human coexistence, efforts to bridge the geographical as well as gender-based digital divide, overcoming cultural conflicts and fostering cultural diversity and the freedom of artistic expression. Consideration is also given to projects that advance the practice of sharing and the formation of a “Cloud Intelligence”, and that facilitate access to technological-social infrastructure. Digital Communities spotlights the political and artistic potential of digital and networked systems and is thus designed to singled out for recognition a broad spectrum of projects, programs, artworks, initiatives and phenomena in which social and artistic 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 2010.”
Isso não impede que qualquer um possa submeter livremente os seus projetos. Para quem tiver interesse, mais informações sobre submissões aqui.
O deadline é até dia 05 de março de 2010.

Loca
Projeto que coloca em relação mobilidade e vigilância, o “Set to Discoverable”, do LOCA, recebe menção honrosa no Prix Ars Electronica 2008. Vejam vídeo e descrição do projeto em outro post desse Carnet.
A pedido estou circulando a chamada para inscrição de projetos no ARS Electronica PRIX. Participem. Lembro que ano passado, na categoria em que fiz parte do juri (Digital Communities), o vencedor do Golden Nika foi o Overmundo:
“For the 22nd time, Prix Ars Electronica, the foremost international prize for computer-based art, calls for entries in the categories Computer Animation / Film / VFX, Interactive Art, Hybrid Art, Digital Communities, Digital Musics, the Media.Art.Research Award and u19 ? freestyle computing, Austrian?s largest youth computer competition.
More than 3,300 submissions in 2007 have further enhanced the Prix Ars Electronica?s reputation as an internationally representative competition honoring outstanding works in the cyberarts. This year, six Golden Nicas, twelve Awards of Distinction and approximately 70 Honorary Mentions as well as the Media.Art.Research Award are presented to participants. The 2008 winners will receive a total of 115,000 euros in prize money.
We would like to ask you to help us “spread the word” in your community by circulating the information as widely as possible. We also would be very glad if you could help us identify some projects, which in your opinion should participate in the competition.
