Prix Ars Electronica 2008 "Media.Art.Research Award" Acknowledgement of a contribution to the field"
The “Prix Ars Electronica Media.Art.Research Award” (prize money: 5000 Euro) is intended to give due recognition to the important work being done by art historians and media scholars in the field of media art, which has emerged over the last two decades as an innovative, wide-ranging discipline in its own right. The great diversity and tremendous current relevance of this branch of artistic production call for theoretical and scholarly reflection on the historical significance of such artworks, on how to mediate audiences’ encounters with them today, and on their future conservation. The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research has been pursuing precisely these tasks since it was founded in Linz in 2005. The theory prize competition is meant to promote an international discourse centering on the theories, methodologies and standards of media art. This includes addressing the necessity of defining terms and developing a theoretical framework as well as the pluralism of these art forms that resists any sort of final categorization.
