VIDA 13.2 FINALISED PROJECTS In this category, VIDA 13.2 rewards finished artistic projects that propose innovative approaches to artificial life research. They may be finalised 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 A total of40,000eurosin cash prizes are awarded to the three winning projects selected by the jury:First Prize – 18,000 euros (*),Second Prize – 14.000 euros (*),Third Prize – 8,000 euros(*). Seven honourable mentions will also be awarded to projects selected by the jury from among the finalists. *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.
