> VIPER Basel | Competition 2004
>
> The VIPER Basel | Competition 2004 is an international competition. An
> independent jury will nominate and award the works and projects
> submitted in the categories [imagination | processing |
> transposition].
>
> [Imagination]
> This category is open to works and projects dealing with traditional
> and future forms of the moving image.
> Possible submissions include analogue and digital films/videos,
> experimental films (including sound/video), 2D and 3D animations,
> extended forms of traditional cinema, linear and non-linear narrative
> image sequences, mobile and innovative screen formats, split- and/or
> multiple-screen arrangements. They may be complemented by modes of
> individual and collective interaction if wished.
>
> [Processing]
> This category is open to works and projects that are characterised by
> processes and live elements.
> Installations or systems can be submitted that are devised to involve
> a local situation and/or an audience actively, thus emphasising the
> ability to interact and improvise when handling digital information
> systems. This includes performances, immersive and hybrid
> (real/virtual) environments, 'play- and social software' applications,
> 'smart objects', intelligent and ambient systems as well as interface
> and interaction design.
>
> [Transposition]
> This category is open to works and projects emphasising acting and
> communicating within technologically defined networks.
> Applications, prototypes and concepts can be submitted that use or
> specifically apply network architecture that functions independently
> of time and place. This includes for example location-related and
> distributed systems (LAN/WAN/WIFI etc.), mobile computing, GPS
> applications, infra-red and Bluetooth connections. The key feature in
> each case is an unusual and/or experimental use of technologically
> defined network topographies.
