MEDIA.ART.RESEARCH AWARD
In conjunction with the 2008 Prix Ars Electronica, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research will be awarding a prize honoring an outstanding theoretical work on the subject of “Interactive Artforms.”
Prix Ars Electronica Media.Art.Research Award wants to further scholarly investigation of media artforms that have not yet gotten established in the context of art museums or in the commercial art world, and of processual, conceptual and interactive art that assumes subversive, situational and committed positions at the interface of art, technology and society.
This new theory prize (prize money: 5,000 euros) is designed to accord due recognition to the important work being done by art historians and media scholars in the field of media art, which has emerged over the last two decades as an innovative, wide-ranging discipline in its own right. The great diversity and tremendous current relevance of this branch of artistic production call for theoretical and scholarly reflection on the historical significance of such artworks, on how to mediate audiences’ encounters with them and on their conservation. The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research has been pursuing precisely these tasks since its founding in Linz in 2005. The theory prize competition is meant to promote an international discourse centering on the theories, methodologies and standards of media art. Essential to this agenda is the necessity of defining terms and developing a theoretical framework in a way that affirms pluralism and emphatically rejects any sort of final categorization of such artforms.

The Leonardo Awards Program
Leonardo/ISAST, established in 1982, serves the international art community by providing channels of communication for artists, scholars, technologists, scientists, educators, students and others interested in the arts, with an emphasis on documenting the voices of artists all over the world who use science and developing technologies in their work. As part of our mission of encouraging the innovative presentation of technology-based arts, Leonardo/ISAST recognizes artists and organizations interested in the use of new media in contemporary artistic expression through cash awards given via the Leonardo Awards Program.
Leonardo-EMS Award for Excellence
Leonardo/ISAST is pleased to announce that Leonardo/OLATS and the Electroacoustic Music Studies Network (EMS Network) have awarded the Leonardo-EMS Award for Excellence to criticalartware (Jon Cates, Ben Syverson and Jon Satrom) for their paper “likn: A Flexible Platform for Information and Metadata Exchange” which they presented at the Electroacoustic Music Studies Conference in Beijing, October 2006. Read the full announcement.
Frank J. Malina Leonardo Award for Lifetime Achievement
When kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank J. Malina founded the journal Leonardo in 1968, he saw the need for an international channel of communication between artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Following his vision, the Frank J. Malina Leonardo Award for Lifetime Achievement recognizes eminent artists who, through a lifetime of work, have achieved a synthesis of contemporary art, science and technology. Winners include Abraham Palatnik, Gyorgy Kepes, Nicolas Schöffer, Max Bill and Takis.
Leonardo Global Crossings Award
The Leonardo Global Crossings Award recognizes the contribution of artists and scholars from culturally diverse communities worldwide. The focus of this award is global pluralism within the emerging art-science-technology field. The award is part of the Leonardo Global Crossings Special Project, funded in part by the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. The First Leonardo Global Crossings Award was awarded in 2005 to Abdel Ghany Kenawy and Amal Kenawy, of Cairo, Egypt, a brother-sister team who have been collaborating on large-scale installations since 1997.
The Leonardo Award for Excellence
The Leonardo Award for Excellence recognizes excellence in an article published in the journal Leonardo. Excellence is defined as originality, rigor of thought, clarity of expression and effective presentation. The Leonardo Award for Excellence was originally established by chemist and inventor Myron Coler and publisher Robert Maxwell. Leonardo/ISAST has continued the tradition. Recipients include Rudolf Arnheim, Otto Piene, Charles Ames, Frieda Stahl, Donna Cox, George Gessert, Janet Saad-Cook, Alvin Curran, Karen O'Rourke, Eduardo Kac, Hubert Duprat and Christian Besson, José Carlos Casado and Harkaitz Cano, Bill Seaman, Arthur Elsenaar and Remko Scha, Steve Mann and criticalartware.
Leonardo New Horizons Award for Innovation
Leonardo/ISAST recognizes the challenges that artists face as they strive for exposure and recognition. These challenges are amplified for artists working with new media and new techniques---especially for those artists who are pushing the boundaries of the integration of art and technology. The LEONARDO New Horizons Award for Innovation was begun to recognize new and emerging artists for innovation in new media. Evelyn Edelson-Rosenberg, Jean-Marc Philippe, Jaroslav Belik, Peter Callas, Patrick Boyd, Christian Schiess, I Wayan Sadra, Kitsou Dubois, Gregory Barsamian, Graham Harwood, Ewen Chardronett and Critical Art Ensemble have received this award.
The Makepeace Tsao Leonardo Award
This Leonardo award is designed to recognize organizations and artists' groups that have increased public awareness of art forms involving science and technology, particularly through the sponsoring or curating of exhibitions. The award's namesake is Makepeace Tsao, biochemist, professor, gallery owner and artist who was a member of the Leonardo Editorial Board and an adviser to and benefactor of Leonardo/ISAST for 15 years. The first Makepeace Tsao Leonardo Award was awarded in 1998 to La Cité des arts et des nouvelles technologies de Montréal.
Details about the Leonardo Awards program
All awards in the Leonardo Awards Program are done by the nomination process. Candidates for each award are nominated by members of Leonardo/ISAST. Recipients are then decided by juries assembled by the Leonardo Prizes and Awards Chair.
