>related visual arts, respectively, transmediale 
>and CTM (club transmediale) are inviting 
>submissions to the transmediale Award 
>Competition 2010 and the Vilem Flusser Theory 
>Award 2010. Invited are art works, projects and 
>positions that respond to the challenges of our 
>rapidly changing digital, technological and 
>networked cultures. The transmediale Award seeks 
>innovative, experimental and visionary works 
>across a wide scope of form, process and 
>practice that embrace, question and enrich our 
>understanding and relationship to our immersed 
>media and technologically driven society. 
>Entries that exemplify new and critical forms of 
>digital expression and interaction are 
>encouraged, as are works from countries and 
>regions in which digital art and culture are 
>emergent. Submissions of art works for both 
>festivals participate in the transmediale Award 
>2010 while theoretical abstracts, papers and 
>research oriented positions are invited for the 
>Vilem Flusser Theory Award, with prizes totaling

>transmediale presents and pursues the 
>advancement of artistic positions reflecting on 
>the socio-cultural, political and creative 
>impact of new technologies, network practices 
>and digital innovation. As a festival aiming to 
>define the contours of contemporary digital 
>culture, it seeks out artistic practices that 
>not only respond to scientific or technical 
>developments, but that shape the way in which we 
>think about and experience the technologies 
>which impact virtually all aspects of our daily 
>lives. As such, transmediale understands media 
>technologies as cultural and aesthetic 
>techniques that need to be embraced in order to 
>comprehend, critique, and shape global societies.

>CTM (club transmediale) is dedicated to 
>contemporary electronic, digital and 
>experimental music and sound creation, as well 
>as the diverse range of artistic activities and 
>social practises that develop within and connect 
>to those audio cultures. Thus, the festival 
>reflects on the agency of contemporary sound 
>creation within the cultural fabric of society 
>and its technological and social 
>transformations. It explores the intersections 
>of contemporary music and audio art with other 
>artistic forms and cultural fields. A special 
>emphasis is put on the creative use of new 
>technologies, the interplay of sound with other 
>media formats, the situational potential of live 
>performances, the formation of social networks, 
>and the advancement of a positive form of 
>globalization.
