VIDEOART & EXPERIMENTAL AUDIO-VISUAL ART CALL
FOR MADATAC & TRANSFERA TV:
CYBORGS AND AUDIOVISUAL ART FOR THE END OF THE TIMES



Spain and International/ It is left open without restrictions a call to 
select, by means of a criteria in which will be valued particularly the 
quality, the experimentation, the innovation and the risk, the creations 
of all those audio-visual artists who wish that their works are promoted 
and broadcast through the independent program Transfera and MADATAC04.
The content of the TV program Transfera is exclusively dedicated to 
divulge Video Art and Audio Visual Art in all its modalities (any 
processes of image-sound interaction, without exclusion of the 
experimental cinema), with the aim to disclose to the great public a 
view of the consolidated video artists and offer a platform for all 
those emergent video artists with a future projection who contribute 
with renewing proposals, avoid conventional visual language and does not 
find their place in other mass media spaces.
Due to the difficult challenge that supposes to mantaian a project of 
this spread, destined essentially to compensate the well-known mediatic 
absence,  the relation with the artists will be based on a principle of 
promotion and visibility, a guideline directed to strengthen the 
sustainability of the program.
However, all the received material will enter, unless the authors 
express the contrary, in the selection for the IV Edition of MADATAC, 
the Contemporary Audio-Visual & New Media Arts Festival, that Transfera
