VIDA 13.2 ARTISTIC PRODUCTION GRANTS

The VIDA 13.2 Production Grants category helps to finance artistic projects involving

artificial life that have not yet been produced. This category of the competition is open to

creators who are citizens or legal residents of

Spain

,

Portugal

or any country in

Latin

America

.

These projects should offer discursive reflections and innovative technological approaches

to research into artificial life. They may be projects based on systems that emulate, imitate

or speculate on the concept of life using modern-day technology and research. These

systems can present attributes of agency and autonomy, exhibiting independent

behaviour, being dynamic, reacting to their surroundings and evolving, and challenging the

boundaries between the living and the non-living, between synthetic and organic life.

In previous editions, the awards have gone to projects associated with robotic entities,

electronic avatars, chaotic algorithms, knowbots, cellular automata, neural networks,

computer viruses, virtual ecosystems, interactive systems, reactive architecture, immersive

environments, hybrid and semi-living systems, telepresence and augmented reality

systems, and other disciplines. The winning projects from past editions can be viewed at

www.fundacion.telefonica.com/vida.

AWARDS

This category is endowed with a total of

40,000 euros

in grant funds (*), which will be

divided among different proposals which address a relevant concept in the field of artificial

life and demonstrate the creator(s) ability to produce the project.

*Cash prize amounts are subject to the withholdings required under

Spanish fiscal law at the time of payment. If the winner’s country of

residence for tax purposes has signed a double-taxation treaty with

Spain, the withholding may be waived by presenting a certificate of tax

residency.

Fundación Telefónica will require all grant recipients to submit a progress report one year

after the cash prize has been received.

The author(s) must ensure that the following credit phrase is displayed at all exhibitions in

which the project may be included:

“Produced with the assistance of the International Art and Artificial Life Competition, VIDA

13.2, organised by Fundación Telefónica”
