DIGITAL COMMUNITIES
The "Digital Communities" category will honor important achievements by
digital communities well as innovative artistic approaches towards web-based
communities. This category focuses attention on the wide-ranging social and
artistic impact of the Internet as well as on the latest developments in the
fields of social software, ubiquitous computing, mobile communications
andwireless networks. Special attention goes to community-related "net.art".
"Digital Communities" spotlights bold and inspired innovations impacting
human coexistence, bridging the geographical as well as gender-based digital
divide and cultural conflicts, sustaining cultural diversity and the freedom
of artistic expression or creating outstanding social software and enhancing
accessibility of technological-social infrastructure. This category
showcases the political and artistic potential of digital and networked
systems and is thus designed as a forum for the consideration of a broad
spectrum of projects, programs, artworks, initiatives and phenomena in which
social and artistic innovation is taking place, as it were, in real time.

Please feel free to forward this to all interesting/ed parties.

With best regards,
Bianca Petscher on the behalf of the Prix Ars Electronica 2008 Team
