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.
We are looking for artistic projects that address the interaction between "synthetic" and "organic" life, as well as innovative projects that further develop the field of Artificial Life.
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, artificial intelligence, wetware, etc) challenge pre-existing notions of what is "human", "natural" and "alive". - 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.
Awards
There is a total of €20,000 in prizes for the three projects selected by the jury:
First prize: €10,000
Second prize: €7,000
Third prize: €3,000
