The Premio Bienal Kosice Award

Intended to stimulate creation, experimentation, and research through multimedia works by artists exploring innovative technologies and inspired by the work of pioneer and teacher Gyula Kosice, the Objeto a multidisciplinary space launches its call for participation in the Premio Bienal Kosice. The works must combine technological development with the poetics of water, light, and/or movement. The projects can be developed in various formats and may utilize environments, installations, video installations, interactive installations, sculptures, objects, expanded video, site-specific developments, objectual pieces that may expand to the Net, robotic art, luminic art, etc. The jury panel consists of Rodrigo Alonso and Graciela Taquini, well-known contemporary art and new media specialists, and a representative from Objeto a, who will be advised by Gyula Kosice. The winning project will be exhibited in Objeto a during a tentative date that would fall on September 2010 during the 3rd Arte y Technology exhibition. The winning project will also be awarded a prize of 5,000 USD. It is an event thought to motivate the development of artistic-technological projects that rely on water, light, and/or movement. All works will be received from March 2 to May 4, 2010.
