[spectre] transmediale Award nominees announced

[Markus Huber]

  Dear Spectres,

In summer 2010, transmediale and CTM (club transmediale) jointly invited 
submissions for the transmediale Award 2011. In addition transmediale 
moreover called for submissions for the annual Vilém Flusser Theory 
Award as well as, for the first time this year, together with the 
Mozilla Foundation/Drumbeat, for the inaugural Open Web Award. In a 
session lasting several days, the internatinal jury nominated the most 
outstanding works from an impressive pool of more than 1000 submissions.

**Vilém Flusser Theory Award**

Congratulations to the following four nominees of Vilém Flusser Theory 
Award 2011!

The Vilém Flusser Theory Award (VFTA) promotes innovative media theory 
and practice-oriented research exploring current and pending positions 
in digital art, media culture and networked society. The call was open 
to publications, positions, and projects from a broad range of 
theoretical, artistic, critical or design-based research that seeks to 
establish and define new forms of exchange, vocabularies and cultural 
dialogue.

artistically contribute to the technological society. These nominated 
works reflect upon the contemporary relation to, and understanding of 
the human, in a dynamic, complex and mediated environment, where 
collaborative practice increasingly becomes a central model.
