__Medialab-Prado receives an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars
Electronica 2010
_May 31, 2010_
*The production platform Interactivos? wins an Honorary Mention in the
category of "Interactive Art" as a unique space for the collective
creation of interactive installations.*
Since Interactivos? was held for the first time in 2006, it has had
remarkable success with its open innovation model, in which ten ideas
chosen through a public open call are developed by groups of
collaborators from all over the world. They attend the workshop to
contribute their knowledge to carrying out the projects. During the
two-week workshop, a context for collective learning and living and
working together is created that generates surprising results.
To date, 17 workshops have been held around the world adhering to the
Interactivos? methodology, giving rise to over 150 projects including
augmented reality games, data visualization, performing arts,
experimental video games, and sound installations. Artists, designers,
educators, researchers, scientists, sociologists, etc. have taken part,
each contributing their varying types of knowledge and specializations,
making a very productive and enriching learning and creation environment.
Ars Electronica has given annual awards since 1987 to the most
outstanding projects in digital culture worldwide, including interactive
works and installations, digital communities, sound art, and computer
animation. In the case of Interactivos? from Medialab-Prado, an
exceptional award was given to a platform for experimentation and
collective creation of prototypes of interactive installations, whose
success has been proved throughout nine international workshops held in
various cities around the world (Madrid, New York, Lima, Mexico, Gijón
and San Sebastián) over the past four years.
The next Interactivos? workshop will be held at Medialab-Prado from 7-23
June 2010, titled *Interactivos?'10: Neighbourhood Science*
The call for collaborators will be open until June 4, 2010 (no
registration fee).

Media Release
26 May 2010
For immediate release
Performances announced for 101010 UpStage Festival
A record 19 performances have been selected for the 101010 UpStage
Festival <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=680>, the fourth annual
showcase of cyberformance using the UpStage platform, which takes place
this year on and around 10 October.
Artists from 11 countries, traversing seven time zones, will present
shows on a wide variety of themes. Common to all shows is the use of
UpStage <http://upstage.org.nz/>, a web-based platform that enables
remote performers to collaborate in real time for an online audience.
Audiences can easily access the performances with only a standard web
browser and internet connection, and there will be "real life access
nodes" in some locations.
Festival curators Vicki Smith, Dan Untitled and Helen Varley Jamieson
said that once again the call for proposals had resulted in a diversity
of ideas, themes and approaches. "We don't place any restrictions on the
artists, other than the length of their shows (not longer than 20
minutes)," says Jamieson. "We leave the form and content open to
encourage experimentation and innovation. It also means the programme
has something for everyone."
This year, the programme has been divided into four groups. "Temporal"
groups together shows which explore sound and movement across time and
networks. The performances in "Trajectory" follow traces, trails and
tracks. Thought-provoking and brain-teasing shows can be found in
"Tendrils", while those in "Transgress" invite audiences to cross
boundaries or limits.
There are dance-based performances, theoretical meditations, comedy,
explorations of sexuality, conceptual works, who-dunnits, creative
interpretations of technology and numerous interactive works. Several
performances will have participatory contexts prior to the festival and
some are part of larger projects. The full list of performances is
included at the end of this release, and information about each show is
online at www.upstage.org.nz <http://www.upstage.org.nz>.
Just over half of the shows are by artists who have previously made work
in UpStage, with eight shows coming from artists new to UpStage. Many of
the new artists are established in other disciplines, including theatre,
dance, music and visual arts, and are interested in the challenge of
extending their practice into cyberspace.
"It's exciting to see the variety of approaches from new artists," says
Jamieson, "as well as the directions in which experienced UpStage
artists are moving. There is technical experimentation as well as
pushing interactivity and the evolving relationship between performers
and audience in a real-time online environment."
As with previous festivals, there will be RL (real life) access nodes
around the world. So far RL nodes have been confirmed in New York,
Slovenia, Wellington (New Zealand) and Calgary (Canada); others will be
announced as they are confirmed. RL access nodes provide a physical
venue where audiences can watch and participate in the festival.
Sometimes performances are staged from nodes, combining the online and
proximal environments and audiences.
The full list of performances, information about each show and links to
participate, is available on the UpStage web site:
http://www.upstage.org.nz. The schedule of performances will be
available closer to the time of the festival.
