Interview with Christina “Chra” Nemec, Prix Ars Electronica Nominee 2011
Since 1987, the Prix has been an interdisciplinary platform for all those who use the computer as a universal design medium in their artistic work at the interface of art, technology and society. Prizes are awarded in seven categories: Computer Animation / Film / VFX, Interactive Art, Digital Musics & Sound Art, Hybrid Art, Digital Communities, u19 – freestyle computing and [the next idea] voestalpine Art and Technology Grant.
