We wish to enhance the importance of this competition through the following measures: A new set of rules that is stricter but more focused on the contribution of new technologies to art; The number of nominees having the chance to show their artwork to the public increases from 10 to 20; Finally, the works will be presented at three different locations: the Zebrastraat in Ghent, La Cambre in Brussels (with Caroline Mierop, Director; works will be exhibited outside only) and iMAL, also in Brussels (Yves Bernard). The second part of the event includes an exhibition by established artists in the field of New Technological Art. Only two or three works should be exhibited at each location. To these two activities will be added a third one, namely the organization of a three days colloquium on new tendencies in contemporary art.
