In conjunction with the 2008 Prix Ars Electronica, the Ludwig Boltzmann
Institute Media.Art.Research will be awarding a prize honoring an
outstanding theoretical work on the subject of <Interactive Artforms>.

Prix Ars Electronica Media.Art.Research Award wants to further scholarly
investigation of media artforms that have not yet gotten established in the
context of art museums or in the commercial art world, and of processual,
conceptual and interactive art that assumes subversive, situational and
committed positions at the interface of art, technology and society.

This new theory prize (prize money: 5.000 euros) is designed to accord due
recognition to the important work being done by art historians and media
scholars in the field of media art, which has emerged over the last two
decades as an innovative, wide-ranging discipline in its own right.


Theoretical works dealing with some aspect of <interactive artforms> can be
entered this year. The work must either be in the form of a completed
manuscript or have already been published. Individuals or groups of people
of any nationality are eligible to enter.

Deadline for submission: March 7, 2008

categories a.o.: Interactive Art; Hybrid Art; Digital Communities) and
