Announcement VIDA 13.0 Award for Sonia Cillari: Sensitive to Pleasure NIMk is happy to announce that Sonia Cillari's interactive installation and performance Sensitive to Pleasure has won the first prize in the VIDA 13.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition. VIDA is organized yearly by Fundacion Telefonica (ES) and awards prizes for artistic projects using technology, which offer innovative approaches to research into artificial life. In Sensitive to Pleasure, Sonia Cillari uses the human body as interface. The audience is invited to participate in this interactive performance, but will inflict physical pain and pleasure to the artist while doing so. Sensitive to Pleasure was co-developed as an Artist in Residence project at NIMk. A registration of the project is part of NIMk's current exhibition: Technology Requested. Sensitive to Pleasure was co-produced by STEIM, Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam and Claudio Buziol Foundation in Venice. Supported by Fonds BKVB and Optofonica Laboratory for Immersive ArtScience in Amsterdam. Thanks to CYNETART Festival, Dresden for construction of the ambisonic cube. http://stp.nimk.nl/ http://www.soniacillari.net/ More info: http://www.fundacion.telefonica.com/es/arteytecnologia/certamen_vida/index.htm (link in Spanish) ----------------------- Distribution NIMk distributes computer and internet art Sensitive to Pleasure by Sonia Cillari is, from now on, in distribution by the Netherlands Media Art Institute.
