VIDA 12.0 awards art projects developed with artificial life technologies and related disciplines: robotics, artificial intelligence, etc. Of particular interest are works of art with emerging behaviours, which evolve over time, react with their environment and seem to have a life of their own. Funded by the Fundación Telefónica in Spain, VIDA has given prizes in previous editions to artistic projects created with robots, avatars, recursive chaotic algorithms, knowbots, cellular automata, computer viruses, virtual ecologies that evolve with user interaction, interactive architectures, augmented reality pieces and works that explore the social aspects of A-life.
A total of €80,000 will be distributed amongst winning projects.
Deadline: October 9th, 2009.
