Production Grants

The concept of the digital sparks competition is to support selected and awarded projects through production grants. The works content is based on close cooperation of the grant holder with the » MARS-Exploratory Media Lab. The Lab supports the award-winners with expertise, knowledge and contacts and enables them to further their work and to develop new projects. The works developed in 2002 have already been presented on media art festivals and conferences and have even won awards.
