Shared Visions - Cyberstar 98

International competition for interactive media environments

In 1998, the WDR Cologne and the GMD - Forschungszentrum
Informationstechnik GmbH, Sankt Augustin, will present the Cyberstar.
This international competition honours innovative concepts for
audiovisual interactive media. The competition was first held in 1995.

Cyberstar represents a contribution to media culture in view of
progressing technological changes. Whereas the discussion about
interactive media techniques mainly focuses on economic aspects, WDR and
GMD support cooperation between

*	designers,
*	media specialists,
*	computer experts.

Cyberstar aims at creating new interactive ways of communication which
reflect and utilize todayâ??s state of technology from an artistic and
creative point of view.

Concepts for interactive scenarios in the categories

*	television
*	internet
*	stage

will be awarded with prizes of totally DM 35.000.

Summaries and video outlines which illustrate projects not yet realized
may be applied as entries.

The first prize includes a work term of six months at the GMD where the
submitted concept will be developed.

Submission deadline for Cyberstar 98 is March 31st 1998.

The award ceremony will take place at the Medienforum
Nordrhein-Westfalen in Cologne in June 1998.
