Digital Communities, whether with social or artistic background, give rise to group action and interaction, engender constructive contexts and social capital, and promote social innovation as well as cultural and environmental sustainability. An essential precondition for this is making the respective relevant technologies and infrastructure more widely accessible or perhaps even developing them in the first place. But access to content and information is also a crucial topic. (there we are) Digital Communities take part in efforts to achieve comprehensive human development, a key aspect of which is reconfiguring the relationship of power between citizens and political leaders, the state and its administrative bureaucracy as well as financial and commercial interests in the sense of increasing participation, strengthening the role of the civil sector, and establishing a framework for democracy and artistic work to flourish" ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Virtual Entity - nomination prix ars electronica digital communities 2009 From: "Prixars Communities" Date: Wed, March 25, 2009 7:39 am To: info at virtualentity.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, "Virtual Entity" has been nominated in the category "Digital Communities" and we would like to encourage you and your team to participate with your project in this year's Prix Ars Electronica.
