App goes Art – Art goes App. The ZKM | Center for Art and Media as institution has been dealing with theory and praxis of new media as well as its impact on contemporary art and society since its founding year 1989.
On 8 July, 2011 the ZKM | Karlsruhe will be awarding for the first time the International AppArtAward, together with its partners CAS Software AG, CyberForum e.V., MFG Baden-Württemberg, Innovationsagentur des Landes für IT und Medien, GFT Technologies AG, and BOKELA GmbH.

More then 90 Apps had been submitted from fourteen countries, among others, from Germany, Austria, England, France, South Korea and the USA. The selection criteria were advanced artistic applications and/or technically outstanding software solutions, which have distinguished themselves by interactivity, creativity, design, look & feel, degree of innovation, stability, usability, technical complexity and overall artistic impression (idea, concept, implementation). The international, renowned jury under chairman Peter Weibel selected 3 winners.
The Prize for Artistic Innovation to the sum of €10.000 is to be awarded by the ZKM and BOKELA GmbH, and a Prize for Technical Innovation by MFG Baden-Württemberg, Innovationsagentur des Landes für IT und Medien will also be awarded, likewise to the sum €10.000, as well as a Junior Prize by GFT Technologies AG amounting of €5.000.
