VIDA 10.0 AWARDS
The hybrid forms of the artistic proposals submitted to VIDA and the transformation of the discipline of A-Life itself have prompted the jury to consider new issues, such as the rising importance of simulation in both social life (for example, in the concept of virtual personality) and organic life (evident in the concept of "neo-organisms"). These phenomena are increasingly present and have therefore received special attention in our current approach to art and artificial life.
The jury for the Vida 10.0 competition in Madrid, Daniel Canogar (Spain), Monica Bello (Spain), José-Carlos Mariátegui (Peru/UK), Simon Penny (USA) and Nell Tenhaaf (Canadá), reviewed 152 submissions received from 32 countries. Fundación Telefónica in Spain will give out the following awards:
