CALL FOR ENTRIES

The VideoFest established ten years ago is relaunching itself in 1997
as transmedia. The festivals original intention was to provide a
creative platform for artists, video groups and media centres beyond
the realm of the Berlin Film Festival. The VideoFest has honoured this
original intention offering unconventional productions public
screenings while gaining a world wide reputation as a meeting place
for the creative talents in media. In may 1997 Mediopolis Berlin e.V.
will once again host a ten day international media festival -
transmedia '97. transmedia '97 will review the state of media art and
innovative applications of new media technologies. The international
exhibition Digital Media World will take place parallel to transmedia
'97 presenting the opportunity to discuss the whole range of
transmedial works and basic tools.

MULTIMEDIA - VIDEO - INNOVATIVE TELEVISION

are the main focal points of transmedia. The interfaces between these
media territories, often viewed as separate, their creative potential
as well as the inherent interaction between Art and commerce will be a
central theme. Videos, computer animations, tv productions, digital
cinema and multimedia projects that have been produced since 1995 can
be submitted.

VIDEO INSTALLATIONS AND PERFORMANCES

transmedia exhibits classic video-sculptures as well as space related
installations, based on interactive or networked systems. Transmedia
invites artists to exhibit but other interested parties may also
submit their proposals. We expressly desire entries for performance
concepts.

CRITERIA

transmedia presents a discussion of electronic and digital media in
the light of contemporary content and creativity There are no thematic
or formal limitations. Works exploring new forms of presentation and
mediation will be given special consideration. The festival does not
however consider itself as a showcase for new technologies. Artistic
and independently produced works are preferred. Strictly commercial
works are not excluded but should be submitted before their public or
commercial release.

FURTHER EVENTS

Artists, companies, producers and educational institutions will be
provided with a platform to present their ideas, concepts and projects
to a broad audience. transmedia questions the philosophical and social
effects connected with technological developments and uses. For the
first time a three day symposium fostering interdisciplinary exchange
will take place. One topic will be neuro aesthetics.
