A Dreamscape is the Faux-Reality -World- that
exists within a dream. Those capable of lucid dreaming claim to be able
to control this world and indeed reshape it and its inhabitants. Several
psychological studies have been carried out to on how the dreamscape
differs from waking perception.

News: CYNETart_08

deadline 22nd March 2008 Festival Theatre Hellerau, Germany.
Call for entries for the 12th Festival of computer-based art CYNETart_08

Deadline for submissions: 22nd March 2008
Festival period 30th October until 09th November 2008, Festival Theatre Hellerau
Awards Ceremony: 30th October 2008, Festival Theatre Hellerau

TMA Hellerau hosts this international competition of CYNETart, inviting artists and art groups to present their projects, every two years. They can apply with projects that fully utilise digital technologies in their conceptual, creative and performing processes, thereby opening up opportunities for digital performance and their relationship to factors such as time, space, physical presence and social encounters. An international jury with representatives from well-established media culture institutions and experienced scientists with a background in media art history will decide about the winner of the CYNETart-award and the sponsorship award. It will also decide on the award of the artist-in-residence-scholarship funded by the Ministry of Culture. On the occasion of the Chess Olympiad 2008 in Dresden (12th until 25th November 2008) we will together with Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden AG (ZMD) tender a so-called chess-media-art-award for the amount of €5.000 for the first time.
