 u19 freestyle festivalAt this year's Ars Electronica Center exhibition, the spotlight will be on u19 - freestyle computing. The inherently broad spectrum of u19 and the multifaceted entries submitted to it make it the Prix Ars Electronica’s most highly diversified category year after year. Now, for the first time, the prizewinners will be showcased exclusively throughout the entire Museum of the Future. Anything goes here; perennial favorites are animated films, videos, image processing, website design, robotics experiments, applications, network software and games.Project Management: Susi Windischbauer, Sini Zein, Gerid Maria Hager The Winners young animationsWitty, off-beat, subtle, tragic and serious animated work produced by young filmmakers will be screened in the Ars Electronica Center’s VR Arena. Every year, gifted young directors and filmmakers submit their shorts to u19 - freestyle computing, the Prix Ars Electronica’s category for kids and young people. The greatest hits will be featured in “young animations.” And once again this year, the lineup will include great work by creative youngsters from other countries: Switzerland (bugnplay – The Youth Competition of migros/kulturprozent), Germany (MB21), Taiwan (Unison - u19) and Japan (Digital Stadium).screenkids.tvscreenkids.tv produces television programming for screenkids, for young media consumers whose attention span corresponds to the length of a music video and who are used to zapping through channels and across media to assemble their own entertainment lineup.In the screenkids workshop, 10 prizewinning artists in the u19 category in 2008 will present one another’s work in creative, unconventional videos. In going about this, the youngsters will break up into teams of two or three and work together with screenkids tutors to develop the issues they want to tackle. The upshot of this workshop will be three or four mini-documentaries that will subsequently be presented on screenkids.tv. Idea / Concept: Team of the "Wiener Medienlabors Blinklicht" (www.blinklicht.at): Sigrid Pohl, Manuel Steinböck, Richard Brem und Ernst Schmiederer (AT)

The 2008 Golden Nica in the u19 – freestyle computing category goes to *Homesick*, an animated film by 15-year-old Nana Susanne Thurner from Bad Leonfelden. Bickering parents and a little girl who’s shocked by this quarrel and seeks refuge in her sister’s room—so much for the back-story. To produce her film, she drew countless images by hand, scanned them into her computer, and then assembled them before real backgrounds. The result is an atmospherically intense short film that tells of a child’s emotional universe.September 5, 2008; 10:30 AM to 12:30 AM; Ars Electronica Center |
