COMPETITION

This year's competition has gained a record-breaking attention: from among nearly 1200 entries from all over the world, after a series of intensive previews conducted at the beginning of April, the selection committee appointed 75 video works, installations, software projects, Internet-based works, art CD-ROMs, objects and performances. In addition to traditional video art pieces, a noticeable increased number of live performances and interactive media installations could be observed, many of which are often created with the use of custom software. Visible is also a turn from decorative computer animation and growing critical interest in tool, medium and different forms of real and communicational environments.
