art and interactive installations; virtual reality systems; digital
photography; digital cinema and video; digital animation; artists' software,
tools and games; electronic literature; and electronic music.

The ultimate goal of Horizon Zero is to open up the field of new media to

and their possible audiences, as well as encourage the cross-fertilization
of "other" arts and new media.
