The Imaginaria Prize for digital art will be announced on 16 June at the ICA in London. An exhibition of the six shortlisted works will be on show between 13 June - 2 July. This prize, which is in its first year, is a collaboration between four organisations: CAP Gemini (the main sponsor), the Arts Council of England, FACT and the ICA. It is worth £10,000 and its aim has been to recognise the significant achievements of artistis working within pioneering areas of digital media and to celebrate and contextualise the state of digital media in relation to art and contemporary culture in the late 1990s. The theme for this year's prize has been loosely based around Life Sciences. Work submitted must have been completed after January 1996. Within an accompanying publication we aim to profile the shortlisted work and show some views relating to emerging digital creativity. Responses to the four questions below are sought. We will be selecting interesting responses to give a spectrum of viewpoints - we may perhaps use part of your response (though we won't change your wording) and all responses used will be attributed. We'd be grateful if you could try not to exceed 50 words for each answer. Some questions may appeal more than others, you don't have to answer all of them. Deadline for response, by e-mail, is 8 May at the latest. Many thanks in advance for your potential collaboration. Bronac Ferran & Eddie Berg (for the Editorial Team) QUESTIONS: * WHAT IN YOUR VIEW ARE THE KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF EMERGING DIGITAL CREATIVITY * IDENTIFY THE CHALLENGES FACING ARTISTS WORKING WITH DIGITAL MEDIA OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS * WHAT IS THE (DIGITAL) ARTWORK THAT HAS MOST INSPIRED YOU AND WHY? * ART/SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY - IS DIGITAL MEDIA MAKING SUCH DISTINCTIONS REDUNDANT?

Impakt is an international festival for audiovisual arts. The festival is a showcase for innovative film, video art, music, installations, new media and performances. Lectures and exhibitions complete the programme. With its unique approach to the audiovisual arts Impakt clearly distinguishes itself from other festivals. We believe that the similarities between art forms are more important than their differences and we try to stimulate the interaction between different audiovisual arts as much as possible. Also we put great effort into presenting contemporary art in a historic perspective or theoretic context. # The film and video section of the festival consists of thematical programmes, retrospectives and the Panorama programme. In the Panorama programme we show a high quality selection of recent film and video productions. The programme gives an impression of the current state of the audiovisual arts world wide. Send in your film or video and follow in the footsteps of Jacky Farkas, Merel Mirage, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Jennifer Reeder, Edgar Pêra, Bea de Visser, Karola Schlegelmilch, Barbara Meter, Sluik/Kurpershoek, Dominic Angerame, Tony Hill, Martin Arnold, Nelson Henricks, Cordelia Swann, Mike Hoolboom, Jürgen Reble, Jo Pearson, Alison Murray, Joe Gibbons and many more. The thematic programmes in the Impakt Festival deal with important issues and trends in art or society or with issues we feel should be brought to the attention of a wide audience. In previous festivals we have presented such programmes as: the influence of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze on contemporary art; artists integrating destruction into their work; the Pixel Vision Camera; the concept of authorship in digital culture. In the retrospectives we present artists or movements we consider relevant for present developments in contemporary art. We have devoted special programmes to the works of such artists as Jay Rosenblatt, Bruce Conner, Derek Jarman, Gary Hill, Matthias Müller, Marcel Broodthaers, William Wegman as well as to the American Avantgarde film from 1921 to 1944. An exhibition of installation pieces is also part of the Impakt Festival. The installations will be exhibited in various gallery spaces in the centre of Utrecht. In the past David Rokeby, Christina Kubisch, Michael Curran, Bill Spinhoven, Liza May Post, Federico D'Orazio, Chris Hales, Horst Rickels and others have presented their work. In the music section of the Impakt Festival, young talented musicians are presented alongside pioneers of the avantgarde. The scope of the musical programme is varied and ranges from electro-acoustic music to experiments in popmusic and from multi-media performances to contemporary carillon music. Sometimes musical events refer to each other within the framework of a theme. 'Radio Waves', a programme curated by Robin Rimbaud, for example dealt with the use of radio as source material for music. In the past, our music programme has featured David Toop, Scanner, Bruce Gilbert, Charlemagne Palestine, Max Eastley, Michel Waisvisz, Tony Conrad and Ensemble, Lee Ranaldo and Frances-Marie Uitti. # Call for entries to the Impakt Festival If you wish to participate in the Impakt Festival please ask for an entry form.
