HYBRID ART
The “Hybrid Art” category is dedicated specifically to today’s hybrid and transdisciplinary projects and approaches to media art.
Primary emphasis is on the process of fusing different media and genres into new forms of artistic expression as well as the act of transcending the boundaries between art and research, art and social/political activism, art and pop culture.
Jurors will be looking very closely at how dynamically the submitted work defies classification in a single one of the Prix categories of long standing.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
It is a prerequisite that the projects have already been realized to the extent that they may be judged on the basis of a documentation.
The work entered must have been created, realized or significantly updated within the last two years. Participants may be individuals, groups, institutions, companies etc. Exclusively commercially oriented activities in the sense of product advertisement are excluded.
Each work should to be entered in the form of a video documentation (approx.
3 min.) Mini-DV or DVD (PAL/NTSC). This documentation should explain the essentials of how the work functions (space requirements, form of interaction, role of the participants, etc.).
If you are entering a CD-ROM or DVD, please include an additional video with a virtual tour through the work. Additional material (sketches, photos, etc.) may be included with all entered works. Please note, however, that the jury's decision will be primarily based on the video documentation.
Since a presentation of an outstanding hybrid work naturally also depends on the technical requirements for on-site realization, please include information that is as specific as possible about technical (HW/SW) and spatial requirements, as well as what you could contribute to a presentation of your work and what would need to be provided by the Ars Electronica Center.
We ask you to use the online registration at prixars.aec.at to register and send the signed print-out of the online registration form along with your entry material by March 6, 2009 to:
