Call for entries CYNETart competition 2006
CYNETart_06humane – International competition for computer-based art
Body-images – image-body :: the bred, contstructed, staged,
cultivated, homemade and self-designed human being
CYNETart festival and the perception of the human body
CYNETart has been showing new trends of cultural developments in the
media arts since 1997. The consequences of the prevailing progress of
civilisation and the introduction of new information technologies in
all fields of social life led to the disembodiment of perception,
thus triggering the examination of a new sensitivity for physical
experience and for the perception of one’s own body. New modes arise
in the practise of communication, to gain new kinds of information in
general - and especially in relation to the body. The body becomes
the carrier of genetic information, it becomes a statistical risk
profile and hence a ressource for the management of populations.
Today, the question about orientation in one's own body can be asked
in a new way. Feeling one's body becomes a refuge.
The international festival focuses on the changed perception of the
body caused by new information technologies. At this, the performance
of the new technologies is less important, it is rather about their
cultural potential for mediation. This applies f.i. to linkages
between existential questions of humankind and their perception. It
also applies to a more sensual approach to scientific methods of
research and the interconnections between the arts.
Competition, participants, award donors and prize money
Media artists, choreographers and composers as well as scientists and
computer specialists who work interdisciplinarily are invited to
participate in the competition of CYNETart_06humane. Works from the
fields of dance & technology, performances, audiovisual compositions,
installations, net art, and new social and cultural strategies based
on new technologies may be submitted to the competition.
All in all, CYNETart 2006 presents three awards. The CYNETart award
