Our physical connection to objects and spaces is essential to our being in the world: in the environments we inhabit, in the ways we relate to one another, and in the products we create. We ask artists to consider actual or metaphorical possibilities enabled by the haptic connection, whether achieved through exceptional handling of traditional materials or of new media. The exhibition will take place in and around Kitchener City hall for 11 days at the end of September, 2007.

Oct 16. VIDA 9.0

http://www.telefonica.es/vida

VIDA 9.0 is the eighth edition of an international competition created to reward excellence in artistic creativity in the fields of Artificial Life and related disciplines.

In previous years prizes have been awarded to projects that included autonomous robots, avatars, recursive chaotic algorithms, knowbots, cellular automata, computer viruses, virtual ecologies that evolve with user participation, and works that highlight the social side of Artificial Life. Applicants should refer to awards previously granted at VIDA’s web page (http://www.telefonica.es/vida) to determine suitability of their project.

Some of the issues explored may include, but are not limited to:

- How autonomous agents shape and interpret our data-saturated environment. - How artifacts (robotics, artifitial intelligence, wetware, etc) challenge pre- - How empathy is created between artificial entities and ourselves. - The anthropomorphization of the datasphere and its inhabitants. - How interactive systems may be designed to spark interest in emerging phenomena involving Artificial Life.
