VIDA 12.0, art and articifial life

VIDA 12.0 rewards works of art developed with artificial life technologies and related disciplines: robotics, artificial intelligence, etc. It is looking for works of art with emerging behaviours, which evolve over time, react with their environment and seem to have a life of their own. VIDA 12.0 is searching projects that relate technology with biology and that research synthetic characteristics of modern life.

In previous editions, prizes have been awarded 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.

The pieces presented will be examined by an international jury. The members of the jury are:

• Mónica Bello Bugallo, (Spain)
• Daniel Canogar, (Spain)
• Karin Olenshläger, (Germany/Spain)
• José-Carlos Mariátegui, (Peru)
• Simon Penny, (USA/Australia)
