<h2><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Medialab-Prado receives
an
Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica 2010 </font></h2>
<u><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">May 31, 2010</font></u><br>
<b><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The production platform
Interactivos? wins an Honorary Mention in the category of “Interactive
Art” as a unique space for the collective creation of interactive
installations.</font></b><br>
<br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Since Interactivos? was held
for the first time in 2006, it has had remarkable success with its open
innovation model, in which ten ideas chosen through a public open call
are developed by groups of collaborators from all over the world. They
attend the workshop to contribute their knowledge to carrying out the
projects. During the two-week workshop, a context for collective
learning and living and working together is created that generates
surprising results.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">To date, 17 workshops have
been held around the world adhering to the Interactivos? methodology,
giving rise to over 150 projects including augmented reality games,
data visualization, performing arts, experimental video games, and
sound installations. Artists, designers, educators, researchers,
scientists, sociologists, etc. have taken part, each contributing their
varying types of knowledge and specializations, making a very
productive and enriching learning and creation environment.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Ars Electronica has given
annual awards since 1987 to the most outstanding projects in digital
culture worldwide, including interactive works and installations,
digital communities, sound art, and computer animation. In the case of
Interactivos? from Medialab-Prado, an exceptional award was given to a
platform for experimentation and collective creation of prototypes of
interactive installations, whose success has been proved throughout
nine international workshops held in various cities around the world
(Madrid, New York, Lima, Mexico, Gijón and San Sebastián) over the past
four years.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The next Interactivos?
workshop will be held at Medialab-Prado from 7-23 June 2010, titled <b>Interactivos?'10:
Neighbourhood Science</b></font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
The call for collaborators will be open until June 4, 2010 (no
registration fee). <br>
