The prize is awarded at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz (A).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScience, technology and arts (STARTS for short) limn a nexus at which insightful observers have identified extraordinarily high potential for innovation. And innovation is precisely what\u2019s called for if we\u2019re to master the social, ecological and economic challenges that Europe will be facing in the near future. In this STARTS Prize initiative, the European Commission\u2019s focus is on projects and people that can make meaningful contributions to this effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, art is assigned the role of catalyst that propagates scientific and technological knowledge and skills among the general public and triggers innovative processes. Accordingly, STARTS is emphasizing, on one hand, artistic works that influence or change the way we look at technology, and, on the other hand, very promising forms of collaboration between the private sector and the world of art and culture. A prizewinning project will be singled out for recognition in both categories.\u201d (quoted from the STARTS site)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re very happy that our project Sounding Soil is amongst the 2020 nominations for the STARTS Prize, granted by Ars Electronica and the European Commision.
