For the second time, transmediale.02 will award the prize for Software Art. In this category the artistic process is largely dependent on the execu­tion of computer code. Software not as a functio­nal tool on which the "real" artwork is based, but software code as the material of artistic creation. Software Art can be the result of an autonomous creative practice, but can also refer critically to the general technological and social meaning of software.
